DIY Snow Globe in a Nutella Jar
Here’s the list of the things you need:
- a computer and wi-fi connection
- 3D printer or 3D printing service such as Shapeways
- a Nutella jar (or another glass jar)
- glitter
- glycerol (glycerin)
- a glue gun (or superglue)
- a winter wreath
- a set of string lights
- a Christmas mood (optional)
Find an Empty Nutella Jar
Get an empty jar and fill it with water. We used a 600ml Nutella jar for our snow globe.
Add a Teaspoon of Glycerol (glycerin) and Glitter
Add a teaspoon of glycerol (glycerin) and a dash of glitter. The glycerol will make the glitter float better.
3D Print a Low Poly Landscape

Glue the 3D Printed Landscape to the Jar Lid
Glue the 3D printed landscape to the jar lid. You can spread the glue more easily and evenly if you use a glue gun. Lock the lid properly into place and seal it with more glue to prevent any leaks.
Add Some Accessories
You can set up a scene around the jar to make it look more elegant and Christmassy. We used a winter wreath and decorated it with a set of string lights so it covers the lid
