This article provides the steps to make your own snow globes. And believe it or not, homemade snow globes can be mesmerizing – after all, you get a chance to create a scene straight from your imagination! It’s fun and it’s easy!
What You Need:

- Figures (plastic or ceramic)
- Distilled Water
- Small White Beads (or large iridescent glitter flakes)
- Craft Glue (or use a glue gun)

Filling The Jar:
-
Fill your jar almost all the way to the top with distilled water
-
Add the snow (small white beads)

Add just a drop of glycerin
-
Carefully screw the lid back on the jar and turn over
Now sit back and enjoy your very own winter wonderland and let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
