A SnowScape Cloche

I tend to get a little craftier around the holidays. Last year I saw some beautiful glass snowscapes in a local gift shop and I loved them - but they were quite expensive - especially when I knew I could probably make one just as cute myself. So, this year I did and I thought I'd share with you guys! All of the items are from Wal-mart and Michaels and cost about $18 total.

What you need:

- Scenery items (I used two bottle-brush trees and a church ornament all from Wal-Mart)

- Wooden base (Michaels, then painted it white)

- Decorations for trees (not required)

- Wide-mouth glass vase

- Tinsel glitter (I just wanted an excuse to use Martha Stewart's new line of tinsel glitter)

- Spray adhesive

- Glue gun

- Ribbon

Step 1: Paint the wooden base with white paint, spray with glue adhesive and sprinkle with tinsel glitter and allow to dry.

Step 2: Spray bottle-brush trees and church with adhesive glue and sprinkle tons of tinsel glitter on them (My little guy and I did this outside. I sprayed and he shook the glitter and had a blast! BTW, we had glitter everywhere, but it was fun!)

Step 3:  Use glue gun to attach minature gold ornaments to trees

Step 4: Glue trees and church to wooden base

Step 5: Cover with glass vase, ribbon optional

And that's it! I have it on my mantel with greenery and gold accents and I'm loving it!
