Each and every year the same question what to gift your loved ones. For some it is easy for some it is hard but overall I would suggest gifting a selfmade present is the best way to spread joy among your family and friends. A gift card or present from the store is easy to get or quick to order but a DIY gift really means that you have given it a lot of thought and time to make it yourself.

For this years DIY gift I decided to go with ornaments which contain a little „snow“ and our childrens faces. These will be the perfect gifts for all the grandma´s, aunts and uncles. 

How to DIY Snow Globe Ornaments

So this is fairly easy to put together. I got the clear ornaments from amazon and they are pretty decent quality. You can open them on the top.

I add little styrofoam balls to make it look like the inside of a snow globe. Then I try to cut the picture big enough to put it inside and it doesn´t fall over but small enough so the ornament is going to close properly.

After that you are ready, but if you like you can swap out the string for some gift ribbon in the color of your liking.

I have a long list of activites planned for this years Christmas time. Emilia has the perfect age to get crafty. I have seen someone make salt dough ornaments on Instagram weeks ago and thought why not. This is the perfect opportunity for us to make something together we can keep but also gift. 

So with no further ado, here is how we made our salt dough ornaments….

Ingredients:

– 1 cup of salt 

– 2 cups of flour

– 3/4 cup of water

– mix everything together unitl you have a nice dough and then roll it out on your kitchen counter with lots of flour so it won´t stick

– bake for 2-3 three hours on 120 degrees

– let it cool and then start painting or leave it blank, however you prefer it

I used acrylic color cause it is brighter but you can also use water color.

Emilia´s Arts and Craft Corner…

….

Building this art corner has been one of the best ideas I had this year. We gifted Emilia the art easel and all the supply for her second birthday cause she loves to draw and it was a huge hit. We might have a little artist on our hands 🙂 but all jokes aside I think it is perfect for her age. She likes to draw all by herself or with one of us. It definitely keeps her occupied and happy.

I got most of the stuff from amazon as well as a local store but you can get many of the things like stickers and glitter glue or stamps at your local dollar store, I am sure about that.

The art cart itself is from Ikea and stuffed with great items to draw, color and do handikraft. I got lots of boxes and cups to keep it as neat as possible and so far it has worked great. The paper divider is from amazon and perfect to store the sticker sheets, construction and glitter paper as well as the little sheets of foam rubber. I am sure we are going to do lots of crafts with all these things.

As far as I can see there are hundreds of cute things you could add to your cart. You just need to decide which theme you want to follow and also what you or your little one enjoys.

All you need for this a basket, some fake flowers, cute plastic eggs and a hot glue gun. This is all I used. Very inexpensive and you will probably still get everything you need last minute.
