We suggest making a snow globe (or several!)
alongside someone special, whether that’s a creative friend, spouse, or little one.
Gather small ceramic or plastic figurines to display, avoiding anything with metal components that could rust.
Tiny Christmas trees, snowmen, candy canes, and reindeer are all great candidates.
Just verify to leave enough room around the rim so the jar still closes properly.
You might find that a combination of hot glue and epoxy works best.
double-check to let your scene dry completely for at least one hour or longer before exposing it to water.
Fill the Jar with Water and Glycerin
Take your clean jar and pour in distilled water.
Leave about a half inch of empty space to allow for the volume that your figurines will add.
Add Glitter
It wouldn’t be a true Christmas snowglobe without a dusting of glitter.
Allow it to dry for about one hour before turning your snow globe right-side up.
After turning it over, inspect the rim for leaks to ensure the adhesive is secure.
Shake and Display
Flip your creation, give it a gentle shake, and admire your handiwork.
Display your snow globe somewhere special, such as above your stockingson your mantle.
