DIY Unicorn Snow Globe

Image
This whimzical tutorial is not only darling but maybe the easiest thing you could ever make. It doubles as an awesome gift, a fun decoration and is an activity you could even do with the kiddos. Who wouldn't want a unicorn snow globe, right!? How to Make a Unicorn Snow Globe First off, you'll need your supplies... I chose a Unicorn because... duh. No brainer! I've also made some with a little deer family, polar bears, sheep and goats, even a cute little truck that looked just like my first car. You could use anything! Hobby Lobby, Amazon, Target and Michaels all have plastic animal figurines in their toy departments. I even used a stuffed animal before.  You'll also want some shrubbery. ("We want... a shrubbery!" Please name that movie.) I normally go for the green pine trees with just a little snow but I thought the all white trees were more magical next to the unicorn. The ones I used here were on sale at Target, but I LOVE these too. I also found some fun...

Is December kicking anyone else's bum these days? I thought I was go on top of thing the beginning of the month... then I blinked. And now it's almost Christmas and I am soooo not ready! I've been so excited to do this post though, so I thought, FORGET IT! I'm gonna forget my mile long 'to-do' list and do whatever the heck I want. <Insert maniacal laugh here.> So a little backstory so you don't think I'm just a crazy person making silly stuff for the heck of it. (Or maybe I am, but you'll just have to determine that on your own.) ;)  Last month, I got to attend the birthday party for the wonderful Alison from The Alison Show.  If you haven't heard of her, check her out right now. She throws these amazing all women dance parties that are seriously what the doctor ordered. Free flowing caffeine, good music and dancing? What more could a gal want? I always like to add my own flair to whatever I'm doing in life so I decided to make an embar...
