What You Need :

Note: I’ve included affiliate links for your convenience in finding supplies used to make our snow globe ornament craft; disclosure policy available here.

• Salt shakers – We used simple glass salt shakers, you can paint the lids Christmas colors if you like.
• Child’s photo
• Pencil
• Scissors
• Artificial snow – This fake snow we found on Amazon is lightweight and sparkly, perfect for this snow globe christmas ornament!
• Copper craft wire – You’ll want something in the range of 18-20 gauge so it is bendable.
• Wire cutters
• Red and white cotton twine string

Cut child’s photo into the shape of your salt shaker. We traced the salt shaker itself so that the photo will be a little larger and will stay in place without glue. Open the lid and curl the photo slightly to slip inside the salt shaker – the photo will pop into place.

Put a pinch of fake snow into the salt shaker so that it is about 1/2″ deep on the bottom. Put the lid back on the salt shaker.

Cut a piece of craft wire, about 6″ in length. Wrap one end of the wire around the neck of the salt shaker and twist to secure. Take the other end of the wire and make a loop over the top of the lid, then secure the very end of the wire to the piece that is already around the neck of the salt shaker. This will make a sturdy loop with which to hang your ornament on the tree.

Add Christmas decorations and decorative string bow to complete your salt shaker ornament.
