Homemade Snow Globe

I have to be honest, I have been rather laxed lately. With the holidays upon us I have not had enough time to make an earnest effort in posting. I promise it will change upon the new year, but for now I will do my best.

Homemade Snow Globe

What You Will Need

1 baby food jar

Mineral Oil or Water (if use water it a good idea to add a couple of drops of bleach)

Any combination of Glitter, Sequins, Metallic Stars, Metallic Confettit

A hot glue gun or water proof sealant

1 small plastic toy small enough to fit in a baby food jar

What to Do

1. Use either the glue gun or sealant to afix the your toy to the inside of the baby food jar lid. Remember you are afixing the item upside down because the jar will be flipped rigth side up when the globe is completed.

2. Fill your baby food jar with either mineral oil or water. Then add your glitter, stars, confetti etc.

3. Now use your hot glue gun or sealant around the interior outer edge of the jar lid. Screw it tightly upon the jar. You may wish to add and extra layer of hot glue or sealant around the outside edge where the lid and jar meet.

4. Once you are certain the glue has dried you may turn the jar right side up.

5. Shake and have fun!

Note ** Always provide supervision when working with sealants or hot glue guns. Depending on the age of your child it might be best if you assume that task yourself.
