Stuff your snow globe and the base, leave some space at the bottom. Stuff the snow globe very well, make sure it has a nice, spherical shape.
Cut out a circular piece of cardboard that is slightly smaller than the diameter of the bottom. A compass is very useful for this purpose.
Using a sewing needle and saved long tail, start sewing the bottom to the base (don’t forget to insert the cardboard circle inside). Sew about ¾ of the diameter, add more stuffing as necessary. Add weighted material for stability, and finish sewing the bottom.

Mini Hat
The instructions for the hat can be found in this post: crochet mini Santa hat ornament.
Finishing
Position the belt buckle on the front of the snow globe (make sure that the seam is on the back) and sew the belt buckle on.
Embellish the base with snowflake buttons – using a hot glue gun, glue the buttons around the base.
Sew the optional Santa hat onto the snow globe.
