INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Cut all of the above svg files. Piece together the Skater, the large Snowflake, and the base of the Snowglobe (December Gifts Cyclinder).
2. Piece together Transparency Pumpkin leaving one side and the top of the pumpkin open. Using the foam diminsional squares, attach large snowflake to the bottom of the pumpkin.
3. Using the foam diminsional squares on each side of the Sihouette, attach to the center of the large snowflake. Glue pumpkin side shut, but leave the top open at this point.
4. Reaching in through the top of the pumpkin, dollop a small amount of glue on each side of the sihouette to cover the foam squares. Pour in snow glitter via the open top of the pumpkin. Shake to adhere glitter to dollops of glue. You can toss in a few snowflake buttons at this point to help cover the foam squares. Make sure figure is straight.
5. Wait about 2-6 hours depending on the amount of dolloped glue. (Waiting guarantees that the figure is dry and ready to be wiggled a bit without you worrying about it moving from the center or leaning to the front or back). Glue top of the pumpkin closed.
6. Glue together the light blue pumpkin pieces to create a small "lid" and add to the top of transparency pumpkin (globe) to cover up the glued closure. Add the Dress it up Snowflake buttons around the top edges, taking care to cover up any showing glue. Place self stick rhinestones to the center of the snowflake buttons. Glue the Bazzill Button to the top of the globe.
7. Attach French Fleurs around the sides of the base of the snowglobe, then add Dress It Up buttons between each Fleur. Place self stick rhinestones to the center of the fleurs and buttons.
8. Place wind up music box inside the cyclinder. Glue the Pumpkin/Globe to the cyclinder base. Hold until dry.
