Bring a little winter wonderland inside with these cute and easy-to-make Snow Globe Crafts. Fun for kids of all ages, with a little imagination and some cute details, the ideas are endless!
What You’ll Need:
- Mini trees (available at Michaels)
- Plastic or ceramic figurines
- Glass jar
- Acrylic paint (optional)
- Sandpaper
- Clear-drying epoxy Glitter
- Glycerin
What To Do:
If the jar lids are not in seasonal colors already, paint them with acrylic paint.
Sand the inside of the lid until the surface is rough. Glue the figurine and mini trees to the inside of the lid with clear-drying epoxy, and let dry.
Fill the jar almost to the top with water; add a 1⁄2 teaspoon of glitter and a dash of glycerin to keep the glitter from falling too quickly. Don’t add too much, or the glitter will stick to the bottom of the jar when it’s flipped.
Screw the lid on tightly, being careful not to disturb the figurine. Turn the jar back over and let it snow!
Tips:
