Upcycled Snow Globe Ornaments

"I made these Christmas ornaments to make my sons smile when they spot them on the tree. Each one is personalized for them with an initial letter; they are all mini snow globes. My boys will love that there is one, especially for them, and they love snow so they will love the actual ornaments. They were easy to make from old tuna cans and repurposing last year's Christmas cards. I had fun choosing the scene for each decoration from the old cards."
