Instructions for the Snow Globe...better late than never Ü

I have had requests for the "how to" on my snow globes. Here are a few pictures and instructions. I hope this helps!
The final product...
You will need these clear plastic cups, a hot glue gun,
some fake snow,
some heavy cardstock or a manila folder, scissors, an exacto knife, and some ribbon, or fancy pipe cleaners (as seen in my original post). Take photos of your kiddos with their hands up as if they were playing in snow or a pile of leaves. Print on photo paper or cardstock. Cut out the body & laminate.
Trace around the bottom of the plastic cup onto the cardstock/manila folder to create your base. 
You will cut a slit at the bottom of the child's picture to attach to the base as seen here. I stapled mine down. Before permanently attaching, place cup over the picture to make sure it will fit.

Cut two slits in the top of the plastic cup.

Insert the ribbon/pipe cleaner (ribbon seen here is curling ribbon used to wrap gifts).
Tie a knot on the inside to secure. Flip cup around and pour in the fake snow to fill almost half of the cup.
Grab your hot glue cun or heavy duty glue and glue around the base. Flip & set on top of the snow filled cup.

TA DA!!!!
