STEP 1: Hot glue 3-4 large buttons on the inside of your Mason jar lid. Stack the buttons one on top of another as you go – this will be the base for your tree.

STEP 2: Paint the buttons white, giving them a glacial facelift. Once they’re painted let them dry for 15 minutes.

STEP 3: Hot glue your tree of choice on top of your button pile. Hold firmly for at least 30 seconds to secure in place.

STEP 4: Fill the Mason jar about 1/6^th of the way with a combination of glitter and fake snow. Make sure both materials are mixed together well!

STEP 5: Pour water into your Mason jar. Be sure to fill it to the top but do not let your snow globe overfill!

STEP 6: Twist the head of your AquaBot Wahoo and drop it into the wintery waters. Then, tree-side-down screw the lid tightly onto your mason jar.

STEP 7: Shake your newly made snow globe for sparkly seasonal magic and be sure to share your results! Use the hashtag “#HEXDIY” and tag us in your photo on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter!

Happy Holidays,
