This time of year I am always on the look-out for unique craft projects. Craft stores and departments stores are filled with all kinds of great do-it-yourself craft projects perfect for gift giving. Many of the projects require basic craft skills suitable for children and beginning crafters. What I really like is these can be personalized for a unique gift.
Each of the small dome shaped globes are about 4½ inches tall. The black base comes off to replace the instructions and photo with a photo of your choice. Your photo is simply cut to fit and inserted into the plastic sleeve that holds the photo in place in the slot. Once the photo is in place, the black base is replaced ready for the snow globe to be enjoyed. Each globe cost $3.88. Printing on regular white card stock would cost about 6¢ (ink and paper) while printing on acetate at a print shop will cost about 50¢. Either way this is a very low cost, easy to personalize craft project perfect for Christmas gift giving.

I haven't seen these anywhere but I haven't really looked. I assume the snowy part of the globe is ready-made and you just insert a picture into a slot.
Hi Sheila :) Yes the snowy part of the globe is ready-made with a slot for the picture that sits in a holder. The holder is designed so you could actually put 2 pictures in it.
