Everything you see in the photos are things I found at the thrift store. But they are also things that will make your snowman globe decoration absolutely unique! Look for things that together, make a little cohesive scene. Look for seasonal jewelry, too! Pins or earrings are a great way to find small items: the gold-trimmed lady’s figure skate in one of my snowman globes was a pin (75 cents). The sparkly silver snowflake on one of my hats was also a pin. I hope you’re beginning to see how unique and original your snowman will be! How to put it all together STEP 1: Hand-wash the glass globes and dry with a cotton towel. If you have it on hand, use Isopropyl alcohol on a cloth and wipe the inside so glass is smudge free and sparkly. Turns out those globe vases are a dime a dozen. But the thrift stores in my area tend to get only the small ones, so I ‘punted’ and used a different shaped vase for the bottom of my snowman globe decoration. You could do that, too! clear, globe-style vases. (or substitute with other wide glass vase) The top one smaller than bottom one

Using vases with a slightly different configuration, also meant that many of those holiday miniatures found at Michaels or Jo-ann’s were too big or too tall to fit inside. Or if they did, there wasn’t enough room for other figures. So I had to create my own “scene” using whatever I could find. Kristen specializes in up-cycled crafts.

It may depend on their shape. In both of my snowmen, the bottom vase is glued face down to the surface of the plate. This is because the mouth of the vase was the widest at the top and allowed the most room for my scene and fit easily over the top of the figurines.
