Step-by-Step Recap
Beth began by painting the wooden plaques with moss-colored chalk paint to give them a soft, earthy finish. She then prepped the mini candy jar lids by marking them with a sharpie, ensuring the figurines and trees would face the right direction once the lids were closed.
Using small wooden cubes, she elevated each figurine and tree before gluing them securely to the inside of the jar lids. Faux snow was then added to the jars to create a whimsical winter scene.
Next, Beth stacked the jars upside down, gluing one lid to the top of a painted plaque, then gluing the second jar and lid to the first. Finally, she topped off the stack with another inverted plaque for a polished look.
Gold ribbon was added around the lids for a festive accent, completing this charming snow globe-inspired craft.
