Tips to Make this dollar store craft
- If you can’t find a snow globe ornament at the dollar store, don’t overthink this. You can grab a jar or even upcycle a jar and just glue an ornament holder to the bottom.
- They don’t carry them at the dollar store (or at least, I didn’t see them at my store) but you can get tiny reindeer to pop into the jar, too, if you want. I found the adorable mini-reindeer here.
- If you can’t find bottle brush trees that have the little flocking on them, you can do that by just dry brushing them with a little white craft paint. Just be sure to let the paint dry before you try to handle them because it’ll get EVERYWHERE.
