I love vintage snow globes, but few keep all their liquid over the years. I thought maybe this year I may try to make my own! Martha Stewart and a few other people in blogland have tutorials, so I’ll relay the skinny on this project. |
| You’ll need a small jar – baby jar, olive jar, pimento jar, etc. Using epoxy, adhere a small plastic or ceramic figurine, animal, or tree onto the inside of the lid. Some crafters suggest mineral oil in the jar, but Martha says distilled water and a dash of glycerin. Sprinkle in a little glitter. Either screw that lid on tight, or put some epoxy on the threads of the lid first to keep it sealed up. Flip it and shake! |  |

Pretty simple, huh? How about an idea that’s even easier, but yields a greater effect? You could use a glass bell jar or apothecary jar to create a snow dome – all you need is the container, some items to go inside, and faux snow. A modern presentation of the classic snow globe! |
