Hi!
Snow globes are fascinating, aren't they? And they can be easy to make, too! Here's how I made mine.
You will need:
A clean and empty glass container with a screw on lidWater
A bit of dish washing soap or glycerin
Glitter, tiny rhinestones, etc. for the snow
Plastic or polymer clay figures (air dry clay obviously would dissolve)
Hot glue
How it's done:
Arrange your figures on the inside of the lid, making sure the container can still be screwed on. When you're happy with the layout, glue the figures on with hot glue. I made a little white tree from pipe cleaners.Next, fill the container with water and screw the lid on to displace all the excess water. Screw the lid off again and add a little bit of dish washing soap to the water so that it will stay clear. Put the glitter in, let it sink and screw the lid on again. And that's it.
I hope you liked the tutorial!
This is such a wonderful item, and I've always found it uplifting to watch the snow gently falling in these globes. I always thought these were too hard to make but this tutorial makes it look so easy. The picture of the globe made in this guide is evidence that you can make your globe look amazing as well. I also really like the White Christmas Tree made from pipe cleaners which is planted inside. Thank you for sharing this. This really is a great tutorial, and the compact globe you have created looks magnificent.
