Snow Globe Assembly

  • Select the mini figurines or items you’d like to feature in your snow globe.
  • Use superglue or a hot glue gun to attach your figurines to the inside of the jar lid. Allow it to dry completely.
  • Fill the jar with distilled water, leaving about an inch of space at the top.
  • Stir in a few drops of glycerin to help your glitter or snow fall slowly.
  • Spoon in your desired amount of glitter or faux snow.
  • Carefully place the lid with your secured figurines on top of the jar and tighten it securely.
  • If necessary, use additional glue around the edge of the lid to prevent leaks.
  • Turn your globe upside down and gently shake to watch the 'snow' swirl.

Notes

Consider adding LED fairy lights inside for a dazzling effect and personalizing with photos or themed decorations.
