Easy "Snow Globe" Earrings from a Craft Store or Dollar Tree

Look at these adorable earrings; I bought the jars in the craft section at the Dollar Tree & added Dawn dish soap and some basic glitter, the latter of which I also purchased at the Dollar Tree.  

Secure the top of the "snow globe" with a small, sliced piece of a wine cork (works well) and glue to secure.  Insert your jewelry wire into the corkscrew. Lastly, once it dries connect your earring hoops.  

Supplies
    - Small "snow globe" or display jars - miniature 
    - Dish soap, choose any color

    - If you choose, I suggest adding your choice of colored glitter to the jar before adding the dish soap and then give it a good shake 

    - Take a wine cork and using a knife, slice off a square-ish peg to use as a top or lid

    - Insert jewelry wire and use a needle-nosed plier to create a nice loop 

    - Add earring hoops 

            **make sure top is secure and glued before adding the actual earring attachment
