Instructions
Preparation
- Clean and dry your glass jar thoroughly before starting.
- Remove any labels to ensure a clean look.
Create the Snowstorm Mix
- In a bowl, mix about 1 cup of water with a few tablespoons of white glue. Stir until well combined; this creates the 'snowstorm' effect.
- If using, add glycerin to the mix (1-2 teaspoons) to thicken the liquid.
Add Glitter and Snow
- Stir in a generous amount of glitter and Epsom salt or faux snow into your water-glue mixture.
Fill the Jar
- Carefully pour the snowstorm mixture into your glass jar, leaving a little space at the top.
- If adding small figurines, place them in now.
Seal the Jar
- Secure the lid tightly on your jar. You may want to glue the lid on to prevent spills.
Shake and Enjoy!
- Turn the jar upside down and shake it gently to watch your snowstorm come to life!
Notes
For color variations, add a few drops of food coloring. For scent, include essential oil for aroma. Seasonal figurines can enhance the theme, and different materials can be used for varied effects.
