Snow Globe


Materials Needed: Any jar with lid, Figurine of choice (make sure it will fit on the inside of the lid and is waterproof), Epoxy glue, Distilled water (you can also boil the boil and let cool), Glitter (not fine glitter as it will only float), Ribbon to decorate the globe.

Instructions: Remove the lid form the jar. Place a layer of the glue on the bottom of the figurine and place it on the inside of the lid. You may consider using a plastic jar lid or a piece of plastic to fit inside the jar as a base to elevate the ornament within the jar (or florists clay) Hold in place for five minutes or until dry.

Fill jar with the distilled water. Be sure to use distilled as it is less likely to cloud and be a breeding ground for mold and such. Don’t fill completely full as the figurine will take up some space.

Add the glitter of your choice to the jar. There are colors to match any season and any theme, even some that resembles snow. Using a toothpick, run a little glue around the inside of the jar lid. Carefully place the lid on the jar and tighten. The lid is now the bottom of the globe. Decorate it with ribbon.

Note: You can also add a few drops of glycerin or mineral oil to the water. This will slow the rate of the snow fall.
