December 25 may have just passed, but it doesn’t mean you have to stop dreaming of a “White Christmas”! Shake things up during your next activity time with this great DIY Snow Globe kids craft! Undoubtedly, it’s a perfect way to “weather” winter break. Choose a picture-perfect photo and swap out the “snow balls” with glitter or sequins. On the other hand, opt for sawdust or fun confetti, perhaps, for a manly version any Dad can appreciate on Father’s Day! I
For many of us, taking down our Christmas tree and decorations is a chore, a not-so-pleasant one at that. The team here at Bronner’s would like to make it a little easier for you by sharing our top ten storage tips for your Christmas treasures.
In various parts of the world, winter is synonymous with SNOW! For many, snow means building snowmen, snowball fights, long drives home from work (okay not so much fun!) and of course Christmas! But don’t worry, if you happen to be in a region that doesn’t see snow, you can still join in on the fun with our DIY snowman wreath craft, puffed corn candy recipe and a hot cocoa bar ideas!

In Victorian times, ornaments were often hand-crafted from cards and embellished with paper, tinsel and such. In contrast, I love to take old things and put a little spin on them. That’s why I am simply over the moon with how these cherub in the cloud ornaments turned out! The vintage art paired with textile and shimmering confetti has all the vintage vibes, but the clear glass bulb and mica flakes is a nod to things more modern.
