A Mason jar is the perfect place to display a snowman figurine and some artificial snow. Give it some color and look at your beautiful winter scene anytime you like!

  1. Working over a drop cloth, spray the jar lid with Rust-Oleum Painter's Touch® 2X Ultra Cover® spray paint in Satin Apple Red. Let it dry for about 1 hour before handling.
  2. Use painter’s tape to mark off a rectangular area on the outside of the jar. This will be your viewing window. Spray white Rust-Oleum Glitter lightly around the outside of the jar. Let dry for approximately 20 minutes.
  3. Spray more white Glitter paint around ½” to 1” around the jar rim. Use cotton swabs to dot glitter snowflakes around the jar. Let dry again for approximately 20 minutes.
  4. All glitter will be dry to handle in 1 hour and fully dry in 24 hours. 
  5. Using Rust-Oleum Glitter Clear Sealer, spray over the glitter according to the directions on the can.
  6. Using hot glue, adhere the snowman figure and tree to the underside of the jar lid. 
  7. Add a small amount of artificial snow to the bottom of the jar. 
  8. Screw the painted lid onto the jar, flip it over and put on display. 

TIP: This snow globe is not meant to be shaken.
