Christmas Snow Globe

Hi guys! The weather is getting cold and the sky is turning gray. That makes it the perfect time for a indoor kid's craft project. Remember when you made the homemade snow globes when you were in school? They were awesome, right? In case you forgot how to start your global project, I've included a supply list and directions so you and the kiddos can have an indoor, winter activity.

Materials:

• Glass Jar of any size
• Ribbon (to fit around the rim of the lid)
• Ornament or figurine (Be sure ornament or figurine is water proof safe)
• Glitter (white or iridescent-you want it to look snow like)
• Baby oil or cool temp water
• Hot glue gun
  

Directions:

1. Apply a layer of hot glue to the inside of lid. *Be sure you leave room for when you seal lid on to jar.
   
2. Sprinkle glitter on to glue to give a snow like affect. Repeat step 1 and step 2 until you have a high enough to make a base for your ornament/ figurine to set on. Once you have base high enough so that you can see your ornament/ figurine when jar and lid are sealed together, set lid aside.
   
3. Fill jar with a “spoonful” of glitter. * Keep in mind that to much glitter will effect you to see your ornament/ figurine when your snow globe is completed.
   
4. Fill jar with Baby oil or room temperature water . Leave about ½ inch so that there is room for ornament/ figurine and baby oil/ water dose not over flow.
   
5. Around rim of jar and lid apply a then layer of hot glue and seal tight.

ENJOY the great holiday with you home made snow globe!!!
