Yield: 1
Cost: $10
Equipment
- Glue gun and hot glue sticks
Materials
- small jars or snow globe kit from Dollar Tree
- small ornaments
- glitter or fake snow
- glycerin optional
- hot glue gun or super glue
- small piece of sandpaper
Instructions
- Rough up the surface of the snow globe base and the bottom of your ornament so that they will adhere well to each other.
- Use hot glue or super glue to glue the ornaments to the base. Let set.
- Add 2 teaspoons or more of glitter or fake snow to the globe.
- Fill the globe top with water. Some say to use distilled water and others say tap is okay. Leave a little bit of extra room for the ornaments, about 1/8 - 1/4 inch from the top seal.
- Add 1/4 teaspoon of glycerin to the water.
- Turn the base upsidedown and screw on to the globe.
- Check for leaking. If it leaks check to make sure that the base is pressed in well all around. You may also need to adjust the water level.
Notes
Bottle brush trees will eventually rust from the metal. Stick to miniature ornaments that are not made of metal or make it a waterless snow globe.
