Making a snow globe is relatively
easy.
Find a jelly jar
Actually anything clear will
work.
Just make sure you've got
a clean jar.
All you need is imagination.
You will need crushed
egg shells for the falling snow and mineral oil works best as the atmosphere
in which the snow falls. It's thick enough to make the snow fall slowly
and clear enough to see through.
Note: the best egg shell
is from a hard boiled egg. This allows you to remove the shell from that
thin, lining that's inside the egg. Get that off and you won't have "floaters"
in your snow scene.
For the snow 'scene' you
get to choose just about any small object to glue to the underside of your
lid.
The smaller the object the
better.
If you want human and animal
shapes, try using plastic wire ties
to make the figurines.
The next step is getting
the glue gun out and start the glue-a-thon.
You certainly can use many
other tube glues, but with a glue gun in five minutes you've created a
masterpiece!
Anyway, after gluing your
snow scene to the underside of the jar's lid, just
add the mineral oil and crushed
egg shells and screw the lid back on. Invert, shake like crazy and impress
all you're friends.
