Helpful Hints for Success

Here are some tips to make your snow globe crafting experience smoother:

✅ Flexible assembly: You can change the order of the pieces or even leave some out, depending on the final look you want to achieve.

✅ Resizing made simple: Want a bigger or smaller snow globe? You can resize the file to any size—just remember to resize the slits for the base so your acrylic still fits!

✅ Follow the file order: Start at the top left corner of the file and proceed in order to assemble it correctly.

✅ Light up your globe: Put the lights in before covering the light channel piece to ensure they fit securely.

✅ Add extra sparkle: Add beads and sprinkles before attaching the snowflake piece for that magical snowy effect.

✅ Skip the snowflakes if you want: Not a fan of snowflakes? You can simply ignore the engraving step for them.

✅ Assemble the branch and bird: The tree branch needs to be glued into the little slit provided. Then glue the bird and holly onto the branch for a charming winter scene.

A Few More Assembly Tips

• Use the optional clear or glitter acrylic piece to help hold the lights in place while making assembly easier.

• The base should be cut twice out of 1/4” material to make it sturdy—remember to resize the slits if you resize the file!
