You can turn your homemade gifts of mason jars of treats into snow globes! Even a Mason Jar Christmas Snow Globe would make a beautiful centerpiece. This post contains affiliate links.
Do you like to give gifts in mason jars like baking ingredients, hot chocolate, cookies, etc.? Some of my fondest memories were when my mom and I would make mason jars for my teacher gifts each year in elementary school. We’d make spiced tea jars and hot chocolate jars, and I’d tie little tags of instructions on them.  (Check back soon as those vintage recipes are coming!)
When we made our jars, I’d use my mom’s pinking shears and just put some holiday fabric in the top of the lid. But, I’ve got something even better today! These are so much fun and come out looking amazing.

Create a scene by hot gluing the ornaments onto the white card stock attached to the lid.
