Diy Snowglobes

These DIY Snowglobes boot off what I promise to live an overambitious overextension of my fourth dimension in addition to talents this vacation season.  EVERY year I say myself that I'm non attempting crafts in addition to hence every twelvemonth I acquire on Pinterest in addition to straightaway betray myself past times selecting a crafted gift for every mortal I've e'er met inward my life.  

So this twelvemonth we're starting amongst snowglobes.  Good intelligence though!  These are truly simple.  And quick.  I'm ane for ane hence far!  

Let's origin amongst the basics.  Here's what you lot need:

• Jars amongst tight-fitting lids (I mean value bricklayer jars are your best bet here)
• Distilled water
• glycerin 
• super glue 
• desired figurines 
• glitter (I chose white in addition to bluish for snow)

I works life everything except the distilled H2O at my local Michael's, fifty-fifty the glycerin (in the baking aisle).  I bet you lot could fifty-fifty honour much of these things at the dollar shop too.  

Ok at nowadays for assembly.  It hardly needs whatever instructions.  

1. Super gum your figurines to the within of the lids of your jars.  Allow to cure for close 12-24 hours (though simply about glues may differ).  
2. Fill your jars nearly to the happen amongst distilled water.  Keep inward mind, your H2O volition live displaced a niggling when you lot submerge the figurine hence move out a niggling space.  
3. Pour close a teaspoon or hence of glycerin into the water.  The glycerin volition let the glitter to autumn to a greater extent than freely in addition to avoid clumping together.  I used a niggling less than one-half the bottle for a amount of iii snowglobes.  
4.  Pour close a teaspoon or hence of glitter into the water.  Really though, you lot tin lavatory piece of employment equally much or equally niggling equally you lot like.   
5. Next, submerge your lid amongst the figure into the H2O in addition to live certain to seal the lid truly tight.
6. Shake in addition to enjoy!  Christmas!

A few tips I learned along the way:

• I'd advise using a ceramic, plastic or drinking glass figurine.  My cute niggling trees are by in addition to large made of metallic wire but they had simply about foamy-type materials on the leaves that came loose inward the water.  If I were to brand simply about other snowglobe (and I conception to!) I'd probable simply piece of employment a amount ceramic or plastic piece.  
• Don't live afraid truly fill upwards the H2O nearly to the top.  I truly overfilled mine hence it overflowed a combat when I position the lid on.  But ane time the lid was on, I had almost no H2O bubble sitting at the happen of the globe.  
• It mightiness live tempting to piece of employment regular H2O but brand the drive to piece of employment distilled.  I've made the shortcut for other projects inward the past times in addition to the results were.... less than favorable.  
• The potential for customizing these is limitless!  Of class they're bully for Christmas but you lot could easily brand ane for a babe shower, birthday gift, bridal shower, or whatevs.  Aside from switching upwards the figurine, you lot tin lavatory conduct unlike colored glitter in addition to pigment the lid to match.  I've got large plans.  

Happy crafting!
