Simple Steps
Step 1
Download the colouring template and decorate it with felt tips or coloured pencils. You can also make your own drawing to create your own unique design.
Step 2
Step 3
Now we have to create the snow globe! To do this, use a transparent plastic bag. Cut out a square that is the same size as your design. Use the outline of the colouring page to draw the lines and cut out the plastic bag to the same measurements.
Step 4
Tape the open sides of the plastic bag then slide the “snow” into the remaining opening. Seal again with masking tape so that the snow remains inside.
Step 5
Step 6
Cut out the inside of the circle to create an opening that will be the snow globe.
Step 7
Glue the colouring page onto the card opposite the opening, then fix over the snowy plastic with adhesive tape. And to make it prettier, decorate with glittery paper strips or masking tape!
Step 8
The card is almost finished, now it’s ready to decorate! Add the base and the outline of the snow globe and a Christmassy message. Let your imagination run wild!
