Supplies You Will Need:
To make the snow globe, you first need to decide what theme you are going to go
with. Then you need to fill the mason jar up with distilled water. Add a pinch
of whatever color glitter you want, along with whatever color plastic beads
and/or trinkets you want to include in the snow globe. You also need to add a
pinch of glycerin to keep the glitter from clumping, and it also helps to keep
the glitter suspended in the water when you shake the globe. Make sure any
trinkets or charms you plan on using are not made out of metal, as metallic
components can rust. Another fun tip is to add small laminated photos into the
jar as well. 
If
desired, small objects can be glued down to the underside of the metal lid by
sanding it until the surface is a bit rough and then super gluing the object to
it. Just make sure that you allow enough time for the object to dry. Then you
just need to use a small bit of tacky glue around the inside rim of the lid, and
tightly secure it onto the filled and finished mason jar. This is the
alternative way to make the snow globe and works well if you want to create a
stationary object effect. By doing it this way, the lid will be the base of the
snow globe. If you desire to keep the lid upright, you could also create a
suspension effect by using clear string such as fishing line or clear elastic
jewelry string. For this effect, you need to tie beads or charms to one end of
the string and superglue the other end to the underside of the jar’s metal lid;
using the same sanding technique to make sure the strings will adhere.
Under
The Sea Globe: Use small, miniature plastic sea creatures such as fish,
octopus, sharks, etc…, add a very tiny half-drop of blue food coloring, add
a small pinch of blue or aqua glitter. You can even add the jar half-full of
baby oil to give it an ocean wave effect, and also add clean sand if
desired.
Family Portrait Globe: Add small, cut-out, double-sided photos of family
members that have been laminated (I have also used wide clear packing tape
and sandwiched the photos between), along with any other personal trinkets
that would reflect the interests or personalities of the family.
