Snowglobes

 

What you need:

Make sure you read drying times so you know how long this project will take.

Jars
Figures, lego men, pokemon, little dinosaurs...
Sand Paper
Glycerin
Distilled Water
Clear Drying Epoxy
Glitter

Sand the inside of the lid until the surface is rough.
Sand the rim of the glass jar.
Dust off.
With clear-drying epoxy, adhere the figurine to the inside of the lid.
Let the epoxy dry. Follow epoxy instructions for drying time.
Apply epoxy to the rim of the glass jar and
to the inside of the lid where they will be meeting.
Carefully fill the jar almost to the top with distilled water;
add a pinch of glitter and a dash of glycerin.
Glycerin keeps the glitter from falling too quickly.
Don't add too much glycerin,
or the glitter will stick to the bottom of the jar when it's flipped.
Screw on the lid tightly, being careful not to dislodge the figurine.
Allow the lid to dry. Checking drying times on epoxy.
Enjoy the snow!
