This is a really fun kid-made gift that the entire family can get into making. It is a good gift for people that are hard to buy for…or craft for! In our family, dad is one of those people so we are making this memory jar snow globe for a Father’s Day gift for dear dad.

Snow Globe Style Memory Jar Craft

We made a Fathers Day Memory Jar, aka snow globe, to celebrate a year of wonderful adventures and experiences with Daddy! This craft is very simple and you can customize it for the event, holiday, recipient and collection of memories.

DIY Memory Jar

Supplies Needed

Directions to Make a Snow Globe Memory Jar

Step 1

Fill jar nearly with distilled water, add a pinch of glitter & glycerin, which helps glitter float.

Step 2

Shake up the jar to test the results.

Step 3

Print 2×3 images of some of your favorite photos throughout the past year.

Step 4

Use 2 2×3 photos back to back & tuck them inside a business card sized pouch & laminate.

Step 5

Add images to the glitter, glycerin, water mix. We added images together, taking time to look at and reflect upon each photo before dropping them into the jar. Then we shook the jar and placed it down to watch the memories float around the jar.

Step 6

I sealed the jar tightly with glue. There wasn’t much water seeping out but enough if we placed it upside down, I’d be worried of an impending flood.
