    fill the base of the lid with white glue and let set a few minutes until it becomes thick and tacky.

    also place some glue on the bottom of the tree, giving it a little twist as you push down to remove any air bubbles.

    Do the same thing with the base of your animals or any other small trinkets you would like to place inside the jar.

    add another layer of glue and add faux snow and sparkly glitter to the inside of the base. Let the jar sit out a few days so the glue dries and moisture doesn't get ca...

    once dry, screw the lid back on and give it a slight tilt so some of the glitter and fine snow particles coat the inside a bit.

    Use different sized jars for a different effect, or cluster them for the full impact. You can enjoy your new decor, or give as teacher or neighbor gifts!

    Wonderful project! My grands & I collect lots of woodsy stuff when out walking. This looks like the perfect place to use our special finds.

    Jenn, where did you come up with the miniature figures? I picked up antique trees from a rummage sale this summer but am still looking for ice skating figures or small deer. I've been making them for my niece for the past few years... we have a whole winter wonderland scene going on. Yours are simply lovely!!

    I found mine at the dollar store and at michaels. A hooby shop that does carries things for minature railroaders probably would carry a ton of stuff!
