Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 clean glass jar A clean glass jar with a tight-sealing lid Ensure the jar is thoroughly cleaned and dried.
- 1 cup Distilled water Regular water can be used, but distilled water helps prevent cloudiness.
- 1-2 tablespoons Glycerin Available at drugstores; can be substituted with clear corn syrup.
- 1-2 tablespoons Glitter Fine or coarse, white or silver, depending on your preference.
- 1 small figurine Small figurine or decoration (like trees, snowmen, etc.) Optional, but recommended for added visual appeal.
- a few drops Food coloring Optional: blue or green for a different effect.
- 1 hot glue gun Hot glue gun (for securing figurines) Use if desired to secure decorative elements.
Instructions
Preparation
- Thoroughly clean and dry your glass jar.
- If using hot glue, secure the small figurine to the inside bottom of the jar lid.
Mixing the Snow Solution
- In a separate bowl, mix together 1 cup of distilled water with 1-2 tablespoons of glycerin.
- Stir gently to combine, ensuring the glycerin helps the glitter suspend and float more slowly.
Adding Glitter
- Pour in your chosen glitter—about 1-2 tablespoons depending on your preference for sparkle.
- Stir gently to combine, ensuring the glitter is evenly distributed.
Assembling the Jar
- Fill the jar with the glittery mixture, leaving some space at the top.
- If you want to add some color, mix in a few drops of food coloring before sealing.
Sealing and Finishing
- Secure the lid tightly.
- Give the jar a shake to see the magical glittery snow fall!
Notes
