Switch Things Up

I love how easy it is to customize this snow globe by changing yarn colors; try pastels for a soft winter look or metallic yarn for sparkle.

You can scale the pattern up or down by using a different yarn weight and adjusting the hook size to create small ornaments or a larger tabletop piece.

I often swap the belt buckle color or embroider initials into the buckle to personalize gifts for family and friends.

Try substituting felt or a small wooden circle for the cardboard base if you want a different internal reinforcement method.

I sometimes skip the hat and glue on a tiny wreath or a miniature tree to create different holiday themes with the same globe body.

For a hangable ornament, I add a small crocheted loop at the top before finishing and use thinner yarn for a lightweight result.

Embellish the globe with a few sequins or tiny beads before stuffing for a subtle glitter effect inside the fabric shell.

Make a set in coordinating colors and vary the button decorations around the base for a charming clustered display.

I like to add a small length of wire inside the hat to give it a slight posed droop for extra character.

If you want more stability, add more weighted pellets and test the balance before final stitching; I prefer using a small amount at a time to avoid over-weighting.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Skipping stitch markers during joined rounds causes uneven seams and shifted stitch placement; place a stitch marker at the first stitch of each round to maintain a straight seam. ✗ Not stuffing the globe evenly leads to a lumpy or misshapen sphere; stuff gradually, smoothing and shaping as you go and add more stuffing before closing. ✗ Forgetting to insert the cardboard base before finishing makes it difficult to attach and stabilize the bottom; cut and insert the cardboard circle while sewing the bottom to the base. ✗ Overtightening color changes creates puckering along the stripe; carry or weave in color changes gently and fasten off neatly to keep the fabric flat. ✗ Removing shanks from craft buttons incorrectly can damage the button surface; use a craft cutter and work slowly to remove shanks, then sand any rough edges before gluing.

Info :

Make a small yarn ball for the pom-pom: Using white yarn, make a tiny ball about 1 inch in diameter. To prevent the ball from unraveling, secure the yarn end by threading the end into a large sewing needle and making a couple of stitches through the ball. Leave the tail about 5-7 inches long for sewing the ball to the hat.

Info :

Finishing the hat: Sew the small yarn ball to the tip of the Santa hat. Fold the hat. Using a small sewing needle and matching thread, make a couple of stitches to secure it in such position. Embellish the hat with tiny snowflake buttons - using a hot glue gun, glue the snowflake buttons to hat.

— Finishing / Assembly :

Item :

Finishing the snow globe: Position the belt buckle on the front of the snow globe (make sure that the seam is on the back) and sew the belt buckle on. Embellish the base with snowflake buttons - using a hot glue gun, glue the buttons around the base. Sew the Santa hat onto the snow globe.

Assembly Instructions

  • Insert the cardboard circle inside the base before finishing the seam: sew the bottom to the base using the saved long tail and a large sewing needle, sew about three quarters of the diameter, add weighted material and finish sewing closed for stability.
  • Position the belt buckle centered on the front of the globe (opposite the seam) and sew it firmly in place using matching yarn and a needle, reinforcing corners so it lays flat.
  • Glue small snowflake craft buttons around the lower base using a hot glue gun, spacing them evenly and removing shanks from shanked buttons before gluing.
  • Sew the mini Santa hat onto the top of the globe using the long tail from the hat or matching thread; secure the pom-pom and reinforce stitches so the hat stays in place.

Important Notes

  • 💡Use a stitch marker to mark the first stitch of each round to maintain a straight, even seam throughout the joined rounds.
  • 💡Stuff the globe firmly and evenly to keep a nice spherical shape; leave some space at the bottom so the base attaches properly.
  • 💡Insert the cardboard circle before sewing the bottom to the base and add weighted pellets for stability so the snow globe stands upright.

This Santa Belly Snow Globe is the perfect quick holiday make to brighten a shelf or table this season. It combines playful details like a belt buckle, tiny snowflake buttons and a foldable Santa hat for lots of charm. Make one as a gift or small display piece and customize colors for a fresh look. 🧶🎁
