For the trunk:

Use brown colour yarn and attach it around 3^rd stitch at the bottom of the tree,

Assembling:

Place the base piece to the bottom of the snow globe with right side facing out. Sew the back loop of base to the back loop of the snowglobe using whipstitch.
Insert the round cardboard piece when you are halfway done and continue to sew.
Stuff the snow globe with fiber fill when you are three fourth done sewing. Make sure you stuff only above the cardboard piece and not below it. This gives you a rigid bottom.
Continue to stuff till end, fasten off and sew the ends.
Sew the tree applique to the snowglobe.

Finally decorate the snow globe according to your likes. I have glued a little star sequins, flat back pearls for the tree and some rhinestones around the snow globe.

And your crochet snow globe ornament is now done!
