SNOW GLOBE 1 – WITHOUT WATER

This is perfect for younger kids but an adult should be present at all times. Even perfect for any age that wants a quick snow globe with a similar effect.

STEP 1

Start off by making sure your figure fits into your jar.

STEP 2

Decorate the lid. We recommend decorating using ribbon like the first snow globe. Alternatively you could put glue all over the lid and sprinkle glitter or fake snow on the top.

STEP 3

Decorate the inside of the jar by placing your fake snow and any other decoration inside. Try using mini candy canes.

STEP 4

Glue your figure down to the bottom of the jar and tighten the lid on. Your water free snow globe is now ready to use!

*PLEASE NOTE: MAKE SURE THAT ANY DECORATIONS ARE GLUED DOWN SO THE ONLY MOVING ITEM SHOULD BE THE FAKE SNOW*

SNOW GLOBE 2 – WITH WATER

This is perfect for everyone and is the ultimate DIY snow globe!

STEP 1

Start off by making sure your figure fits into your jar.

STEP 2

Glue the figure to the lid. This should mean that once you place your lid back on, the figure is upside, inside your jar.

STEP 3

Decorate your lid with ribbons, glitter, fake snow and more!

STEP 4

Decorate the inside by adding fake snow and any other decorations. Allow the glue to set for 10-12 hours to ensure that the glue will be strong. (THE GLUE SHOULD BE WATERPROOF GLUE)

STEP 5

Add water to your snow globe ensuring a gap of 1-2cm is left and place the lid back on. Your snow globe is now ready to use!

*PLEASE NOTE: MAKE SURE THAT ANY DECORATIONS ARE GLUED DOWN AND LEFT FOR 10-12 HOURS SO THE GLUE CAN SET BEFORE ADDING THE WATER*
