Make a Snow Globe



Supplies:
  • Baby food jars (medium or large) or any other type of jar with a lid
  • White and/or silver glitter or fake snow
  • Hot glue gun
  • Ribbon or felt


How to make it:
  • Wash and dry your jar completely, including the lid.
  • Fill jar with water to within 1/2 inch of top. Use cold water, warm water tends to cloud. Sprinkle ½ teaspoon of glitter, or “snow” into water.
  • Add any other objects that you think would add to your snow globe.  Another idea is to add food coloring to the water.
  • Using hot glue gun, line inside of lid with glue.
  • Dab lid dry if any water dripped or spilled. Apply a layer of hot glue around the rim of the lid to seal shut.
  • Let stand and dry overnight -- lid side up.
  • Decorating the lid rim with decorative ribbon with glue, use plastic holly berries for a holiday feel, or use colored felt.  There is no wrong way to decorate your globe be as creative as you want.
