Snow Globes

Supplies:  Save all those pickle or other glass jars and lids for this one.

First, glue a figurine or other object standing up to the inside of the plastic lid.  While that is drying, fill the jar about halfway with water and add as much glitter as you would like.  Fill the jar completely after the glue is dry. To seal the lids use some plumbers tape around the top of the jar before screwing on the lid.  Also some glycerin added to the water and glitter helps the glitter not to clump up.  Just a few drops is all you need.  This can be purchased where cake decorating supplies are sold.  Turn it upside down and shake the glitter up.  You can also add ribbon and other decorations to the base around the lid or top of the snow globe.
