Snow Globes-
Needed :
baby food jars
plastic figurine or small toy item
hot glue gun (or liquid nails)
glycerin
distilled water
glitter or foil type confetti ---paper confetti will NOT work
First sand the inside of the lid to make it a little rough. You can paint the lid on the outside with an oil-based paint to cover the writing.Then attach your figurine to the inside of the lid. Let dry about 5 minutes. Fill the jar almost to the top with distilled water and add a pinch (or two or three)of confetti/ glitter and a drop of glycerin. Screw on the lid tightly. Turn over and watch the snow fly.
These can be customized for different holidays or events. For example use snowmen, santas, or elves for christmas, hearts or flowers for valentines and mothers day, turkeys for thanksgiving etc.
