How to Make Homemade Snow Globes
First, you’ll need to gather your supplies: a glass jar and lid, distilled water (you can boil tap water and wait for it to cool off), glycerin (available in a local drugstore), glitter, waterproof sealant (aquarium sealant, epoxy, or outdoor chalking), a small waterproof figurine, statuette, or ornament that will fit inside the jar, a bottle cap, another jar lid or block of wood, a little paint, and a little bit of glue.
You’re going to want your figurine or ornament to be in the center of your snow globe. As this is the centerpiece of the project, start with a little planning. Place the lid of your glass jar with its top down and put the bottle cap on top of it. Set your figurine on top of your bottle cap, and then place the glass jar over it. If your statuette is in the center, perfect. If it’s too high, take out your bottle cap and either try a different one or go without it. If it’s too low, stack bottle caps until your ornament is where you want it. When everything is ready, paint your bottle cap, and then adhere it to the glass jar’s lid. Glue your ornament to the base with your waterproof sealant and wait for everything to dry. If you paint your bottle cap, you’ll want to brush a layer of sealant over it so the paint doesn’t bleed when wet.
While your base is drying, it’s time to test the rate of snowfall. Take your glass jar and fill it with your boiled or distilled water. Add a teaspoon of glitter and shake. Add more glitter as needed, until you have the blizzard or light flurries that you’re looking for. If the glitter falls too quickly, add a few drops of glycerin. This will slow down the movement. Oil can be used instead of glycerin and water because it is thicker; however, it does not provide the best viewing consistency.
When everything is ready, take your lid with the glued statuette and screw it onto your water-and-glitter-filled jar. Some water will be displaced, so do this over a sink. Wipe your jar dry and shake for a sneak preview of your homemade snow globe. The job’s just about done.
Use your waterproof sealant to glue the lid in place and to ensure there are no leaks. Then take your other lid or wooden block and use this as a stand. Paint it if you like, and then glue your snow globe onto it. If you paint your stand, you might want to paint the lid of your snow globe the same or a complementary color. When the paint is dry, add any decorations that you want to the outside, and you are done. Shake to your heart’s content.
