Hoping for a white Christmas? Why not create a wintry scene straight from your own imagination by designing a holiday snow globe?
Supplies you’ll need:
• any small, clean jar (jelly, pimento, olive, baby food, etc.)
• miniature figurines (synthetic, plastic or ceramic) from hobby stores, cake-supply centers or model-railroad shops
• clear-drying epoxy
• distilled water
• glycerin (purchase at any pharmacy)
• glitter
How to:
• Roughen the inside of the jar lid with an emery board or sand paper.
• Adhere the figurines to the inside of the lid with epoxy and let it dry.
• Fill the jar almost full with distilled water.
• Add a pinch or two of glitter for “snow.”
• Pour in a dash of glycerin (to slow the glitter).
• Screw the lid on tightly, and seal it with epoxy.
Now, turn the jar upside down, and—let it snow!
