Transform a cupcake liner into one of the prettiest, and perhaps easiest, winter projects with our charming Cupcake Liner Snow Globe Craft! This enjoyable and wonderfully creative winter activity is suitable for children of all ages and offers endless possibilities.
Our Free Printable Snow Globe Template provides the snow globe shape. Simply trace it onto black cardstock and cut it out. Next, choose a cupcake liner in any color you like, then create your design using a white paint pen.
We chose white paint pens for our illustrations to achieve a simple, charming appearance, though you can certainly try colorful markers instead. Stickers or any other craft supplies you have available would work well, too.

Cupcake Liner Snow Globe Craft Supplies Needed
Winter Snow Globe Craft Step by Step Directions
First, print the snow globe template, then cut it out.
Place the template on black cardstock, trace around it, and cut out the shape.
Next, smooth out a cupcake liner in the color you selected. Attach it to the middle of the circle with glue. Press the liner as flat as you can so drawing on it will be easier.
Then, draw a few simple winter trees covered in snow with a white paint pen. Feel free to decorate your snow globe in any style you prefer.
We additionally used a white chalk marker to color the ground beneath the trees.
Lastly, since a snow globe needs snow, use the white paint pen to add snowy dots throughout the winter scene. For bigger snowflakes or dots, you can use the white chalk marker instead.
These snow globes can also be made into Christmas decorations by attaching a piece of string to the back.
