Make a snow globe!

Shake it up with this glittering snow globe…

What you’ll need

  • Small jar with lid
  • Plastic animal or toy (make sure it fits in the jar)
  • Instant bonding glue and brush
  • Sandpaper
  • Baby oil
  • One teaspoon of white glitter
  • Ribbon

How to do it...

 

1 Turn the jar’s lid upside down and use the sandpaper to scuff the inside of it.


2 Brush glue on to the bottom of the animal or toy and stick it to the centre of the lid, then leave it to dry.

3 Now, fill the jar with the baby oil and then add the white glitter (the ‘snow’).


4 To prevent leaks, seal your globe by brushing some glue around the rim of the jar, then screw the lid on tightly. Now leave the jar to dry. 


5 You can decorate your jar with some festive ribbon if you like. Then turn your  globe over and watch it snow – what a cool Christmas gift!

Top tip!
Use nail polish remover to get rid of any glue or paper still stuck on the jar.
