Snowglobe Instructions

Here are the instructions to make your own snowglobe.

Supplies:

• Jar that will hold liquid - the brand in the photo (from JoAnns bridal dept) does NOT hold liquid well, but they're cute.
• Glitter - I used 2 different brands since it appears some brands use "heavier" glitter that doesn't "float" as well
• Water
• Glycerine - you can find it in the pharmacy dept. of any drug store (at Bartell's it is with the Hydrogen Peroxide)
• Miniature Figures - make sure they are plastic so they don't get ruined sitting in the water (wood & paper will get ruined)
• Waterproof Glue - silicone probably works well, but you should research it before committing it to your project

1. Glue your miniature figure into the bottom or the lid of you jar.
2. Add glitter.  Too much is not always better, so be reasonable.
3. Add water, leaving space at the top of the jar.
4. Add glycerine.  This is to thicken up the water so the glitter doesn't fall straight down.  I've read tutorial saying everything from a few drops to 50 /50 with the water.  Experiment to find what is right for your project - we used a teaspoon for the little jars.
5. Add a bead (ring) of glue all the way around the top of the jar.
6. Screw the lid on tight.  
7. Let the glue dry before turning the jar over.
8. Let it snow!
