Make Your Own Snow Globes

You will need:

bullit Clean baby food jars
bullit Small plastic figures (hobby store miniatures)
bullit Non water-soluble glue
bullit White or crystal colored glitter.
bullit Distilled water

Clean and dry baby food jars and figures. Glue plastic figures in a pleasing arrangement in the lid of the baby food jar. Coat the exposed parts inside the lid with glue and cover with glitter. Be sure to all room around the edge for the lid to screw back on the jar. Let dry. Add a teaspoonful of glitter to each baby food jar. Fill jar with distilled water. Place a bead of glue around the inside edge of the lid. Place the lid on the jar securely so that the glue completely seals the lid to the jar. Let dry for 24 hours. Your snow globe is complete after testing to see if it leaks. If the jar leaks you will need to reseat the lid with more glue.
