Snowglobe Ornaments

I got the idea to do these ornaments from this blog :

And since I found everything I needed except for the little trees, I decided to crochet them instead

 They came out pretty close to what I wanted

 

I ruined one of the ornaments trying to glue the tree, so I had to use this instead for one of them.

 

I stitched on some beads which is hard to see in the picture. Then I hot glued some little pieces of dowel to the bottom of the tree to give it a little height. I tried to glue the trees to the bottom but that didn't work for me very well, because the trees are a little hard to squeeze inside. Instead I threaded some clear fishing line through the bead I had stitched on top  of the tree, then I just secured that to the top of the ornament with tape. Beware most filling will stick to the sides of the ornament. A big help in putting them together were really long tweezers.

I also wanted to put little snowmen inside (but they came out too fat) so I bought ornaments that had a bigger opening that I bought at Joans.
