Mason Jar Snow Globes: Vintage Cars & Trucks

Mason Jar Snow Globes: Vintage Car & Truck Snow Globes.

You can find the Etsy shop listing by clicking here.

 

It’s that time again. The time for the mason jar snow globes featuring vintage cars. And (this year) vintage trucks. And perhaps my favorite …

 

The vintage Volkswagen bus!

 

Now, I realize these are not really snow globes (as a kind reader so kindly pointed out). I realize real snow globes have liquid and allow you to turn them upside down so you can see the snow gently falling on the scene.

 

If you turned these mason jar snow globes upside down hoping to see the snow gently falling you will be disappointed. And just end up with a winter car crash scene. Which would not be in the spirit of the holiday.

 

 

So I get it. These mason jar snow globes are not snow globes. But what they are is just too cute. Seriously. And they even appeal the now-grown-but-once-young men in your life. My husband just loves the little vintage cars and trucks.

And here’s a quick recap of how to make your very own mason jar snow globes …

The windows on the Volkswagen Beetle do not open. So I wrapped the Baker’s twine around the car.  I started by taping the twine to the bottom of the car.Wrap the twine twice around the car to attach the tree.

If the car you are using has open windows, then you can thread the twine through the two open windows like so. (And here’s a link to the Ford Country Squire 1964 in Red from Auto World Muscle Wagons 1:64 Scale).

And tie a knot to secure tree on top of car.

    Adorable!! Your trees are on the cars backward though. The branches would be destroyed by the wind, lol. The one with the pickup would blow off, it would be leaning against the tailgate in real life. Just nitpicking little details, not that anyone else would notice or care as they are SO stinking cute!!

      That’s funny! I just didn’t think they looked as cute the other way. Luckily they don’t have far to drive! Ha! 🙂

    They are incredibly adorable!
    I don’t think the trees are backwards…the branches are always tied towards the ground. Then untied and turned upside down to fluff and separate the branches.
    If they turned them around they would open like an umbrella against the wind!

    Are they really 16oz jars? They look so much smaller in the pictures. Thanks!
