Since Christmas is around the corner, a snow globe can make a fantastic gift. A homemade snow globe can be an easy, thoughtful, inexpensive gift and you may already have everything you need at home!
Instructions
- Pick a theme.
If it’s a Christmas theme, a snowman or pine tree might work.But if it’s for a birthday, try a smaller toy. For a personalized snow globe, try to use a heavily laminated photo of the person. - Find a good jar
Any size can work it doesn’t really matter. Make sure there are no cracks and that it can be closed tightly. - Gather your supplies.
Most craft stores or general retailers will have the craft equipment if you don’t already have at home. Besides a jar you’ll also need:
– Waterproof craft glue or epoxy
– Glitter or fake snow
– Bottled water, which is less likely to cloud up
– Glycerin or baby oil - Position your figurine.
You need to first figure out where you want to place your figuring and then remove the lid from your jar to place it. Once you have found the right pose, apply your glue in order to seal the
lid to the bottom of the figurine. Then, press the figurine down onto the
lid, and let it dry for 24 hours. - Fill the jar with water
Fill the jar with boiled water and don’t forget to add glycerine. Glycerin helps
your glitter fall down slowly. Sprinkle 1-2 teaspoons of plastic glitter into the
water. Use a spoon to mix well. - Seal the lid
Place your lid onto the top of the jar, and seal it. If there’s any
extra water, it might leak a little, but that’s okay. - Shake your snow globe gently and be proud of your masterpiece.
