Snowglobes are super rad. I Iove making 'em just as much as I love shaking 'em. Here is a quick tutorial on waterless snowglobes. If you want to put water in your globes, Martha Herself has a tutorial. But here's how the Offbeat DIY Editor rocks her some Martha-inspired crafts.

What you'll need:

Jar with lid
Sculpey clay (1 small pkg per globe)
Oven
Baking sheet
Glitter
Hot glue
Small toy (think things that could go with your wedding theme — dinosaurs, super heroes, birds, skulls, etc)

Here's how it's done:

Celebrating New Year's Eve is super fun. Weddings are a celebration of something new as well. Why not inject your event with some holiday and/or New Year's excitement with these papier mache confetti balls!?

But don't let their name fool you — Little Things Favors offer much MUCH more than just favors. You can get practically ANYTHING you want for your wedding over there.

Ariel Segall aka Ariel (but not that one) appeals to our chocolate-loving, Dungeons and Dragons-playing, favor-searching crowd as she shows us how to make your own chocolate D&D dice molds.

I picked seed bombs as favors because I didn't want to give out "stuff" (i.e. junk that will just go in a landfill) but rather give something small that was enjoyable, expressed our ethos, and was delightfully biodegradable. My husband and I had a great time making these and getting dirty! They were really easy and took no time at all.

We wanted to make favors that would be useful, so I totally borrowed an idea from the welcome bag with an awesome, party-friendly, "emergency kit" post and decided to make the perfect wedding BBQ emergency kit!
