How To Make A Santa Snow Globe

Kimberly Melamed, contributor | December 29th, 200911 comments

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow... inside this adorable vintage flower aquarium made snow globe! I was looking for a family friendly winter project to do with my two kids, when I came across this beautiful vintage flower aquarium. I knew right away that it would make the perfect snow globe! Add a vintage Santa pepper shaker, Mrs. Clause the salt was broken long ago, and you have the makings of the perfect snow storm. Really, what child do you know that doesn't love to shake and turn a snow globe and watch the flakes fly? Heck, I don't know an adult that doesn't love to do the same!
