DIY Snow Globes!

This is a great craft for kids old enough to use a hot glue gun (with adult assistance of course!) and would make a great present from the little ones!

What You Need:
- an empty baby food jar or other jar with tight fittinglid
- something waterproof to put in your jar (I chose a plastic christmas tree that had broken off an ornament, and a plastic dinosaur that had part of it's tail and a leg broken off)
- florists clay (I didn't use this, but it would have made the globe 10 times better)
- glitter
- water
- hot glue gun with glue

To Make Your Snow Globe:
- Make sure your jar is clean and the lid is dry. Use the clay to make a base on the inside of the lid for your object to stick to (and to raise it up into view). I did NOT use clay, and my object is not as visible and not as sturdy!
- Use the clay to attach your object to the inside of the lid
- Fill the jar almost to the top with cold water (warm water can cloud!)
- Put in about 1/2 tsp of glitter (more or less depending on your jar size.... but don't put too much or you will ruin the effect!)
- Place the object (upside down) into the jar and screw the lid on
- Seal around the edge of the lid using the hot glue gun.
- Let dry and shake! Pin It Now!
