Add glue to the back of your snowy hill and glue it onto your light blue paper plate.
Use a glue gun to add glue to the back of your felt cactus ornament and then glue it onto your light blue paper plate.
Place two tablespoons of craft snow in the middle of your light blue paper plate, on top of your felt cactus ornament. Then add on one tablespoon of snowflake confetti.
Use a glue gun to add a line of glue around the inside perimeter of your light blue paper plate.
Quickly place your clear plastic dessert plate upside down on the hot glue and hold it in place as the glue dries.
