Are you looking for a fun holiday themed project to make with your kids or parents ? One solution is to create a snow globe A snow globe is a cute traditional decoration which is easy to make using everyday items from around your home. Alternatively you can buy a ready made kit online or in craft stores to create a more professional looking snow globe you can enjoy year after year. Whichever option you choose see Step 1 below to get started. Find a glass jar with a tight fitting lid. Any size will do as long as you have figurines that will fit inside them.
Decide what you want to put inside. You can put anything you like inside your snow globe. Small childrens toys are a good option as are winter themed figurines or cake toppers think snowmen Santa Clauses and Christmas trees from thrift and craft stores.
Create the scene on the underside of the jar lid. Take the lid of your jar and cover the underside with a layer ofglue super glue or epoxy. If you like you can sand the lid with some sandpaper first this will create a rougher surface which helps the glue to stick better.
Fill the jar with water glycerin and glitter. Fill your jar almost to the brim with water and add 2 to 3 teaspoons of glycerin which can be found in the baking section at the supermarket. The glycerin thickens the water allowing the glitter to fall more slowly. You can achieve a similar effect with baby oil.
Carefully put the lid on. Take the lid and carefully screw it onto the jar. Close it as tightly as you can and wipe up any displaced water with some paper towel.
Decorate the lid optional. If you want you can finish off your snow globe by decorating the lid.One of the secret ingredients to any snow globe is glycerin, a clear liquid typically made from vegetable oils, which is widely used to slow down the effect of shaken water and glitter, to the effect of falling snow
What most people don't realize is that snow globes are filled with a toxic chemical called ethylene glycol, which is the main ingredient in antifreeze
Some snow globes are filled with clear water at room temperature
