My kids are all about the crafts. We have an entire cabinet in our house dedicated to supplies. This is a fun, easy, mess-free idea for a cold winter day. And who doesn’t love a snow globe?
What you need:
›› Small figure — let your kids pick something from around the house or the dollar store has lots of inexpensive options.
›› Glitter (2 tablespoons per globe)
›› Water
›› Glycerin — I found this for under $3 at Walmart in the pharmacy area
›› Mason jar — or any jar will do! We used an old salsa jar for our second snow globe.
›› Spoon
›› Glue gun
Directions:
›› Secure the figure to the lid.
Using a glue gun, carefully glue the bottom of the figure to the jar lid. Make sure to use enough glue to secure the ornament. Set aside to dry.
›› Add glycerin and water to the jar
Add enough water to fill the jar. The amount of glycerin will depend on the size of the jar. I used about a tablespoon for this jar.
›› Add glitter and stir
Pour in 2 tablespoons of glitter then stir thoroughly with a spoon.
›› Seal the lid
Give it an extra twist to ensure the jar is tightly sealed. Add glue to the lid to prevent any leaking if needed.
›› Shake and enjoy!
Make sure your snow globe is completely sealed by shaking it carefully at first.
