  • Hello. It's Jennifer from Sea Lemon.

  • Today, I will show you a few different ways to make your own snow globe.

  • I wanted to go a more non-traditional route with these, and with the exception of the more winter-looking ones, these can be displayed all year round.

  • Before we start, I wanted to give you some tips.

  • Almost anything can be used as the object inside.

  • I think small toys are fun; just as long as it's waterproof.

  • And if it's not, you can paint or spray a protectant on it first.

  • To glue your object, I found that the glue gun works. But not on everything and not all of the time.

  • So if you want to make sure your object stays while it's in the globe, try a stronger glue and one that dries waterproof.

  • Adding a little glycerin to your snow globe will make the snow or glitter float around slower. It's a nice touch, but it's totally optional. And it is hard to find in local stores.

  • I'll put a link down below to where I found mine as well as a full list of the supplies I used.

  • Okay, let's make some snow globes!

  • For this first one, I'm using an empty baby food jar

  • I like the small size, but of course you can recycle any of your food jar of your choice

  • For the object, I saw this Yeti or snowman in the toy aisle and I thought yes, I need this cool guy in a snow globe

  • I thought this lid would look better in a different colour so I spray painted it in Aqua Blue

  • After a couple of coats and some drying time, this Yeti is ready to stand on the lid

  • So I added some glue gun to the feet, and put him in place

  • Next, I added some glitter to the jar, then pour in some distilled water

  • You can use tap water if you want to, but distilled will make your globe a lot more clear because it has no minerals in it

  • I thought the Yeti would look good with some snowballs in the jar

  • So I use this really tiny 5 milimetres pom-poms

  • But in order to make the pom-poms float around with the glitter, I had to kind of squeeze them in water like a sponge

  • so that the water soaks in and they have weight to them

  • Otherwise they will just stay at the top of your globe

  • And then I added those to the jar, along with a dollop of glycerin, and top it off with more water

  • Put the lid on, and now this Yeti is just chilling in his disco blizzard snowglobe

  • For this next one, I wanted to try a clamp jar

  • you can leave the clamp on, but I will show you what it looks like with it off

  • I'm going for some cactus plant life in this one

  • and to raise it up a bit in the globe, I'm using a bottle cap

  • I glued it down with some E6000 and you can do this bottle cap thing with any of the globes

  • if your object is just too short for the entire container

  • While I let that dry for a bit, I remove the clamp from the jar with a pair of needlenose pliers

  • If you leave the clamp on, it will make this globe more water tight but I wanted to go for a cleaner look so I took it off

  • And for this glass lid to sit easier on the tabletop, I trace it on a piece of cork, cut it out

  • and then glue it to the top

  • And I think the cork actually goes well with the plant life because it looks more like dirt

  • Now I'm using the same strong glue to glue the bottle cap to the inside of the lid

  • and let this whole piece dry overnight

  • Then add some glitter to the jar, I'm going with gold because kind of matches the dirt and the cactus

  • Add the water and also I'm going with some snowballs in this one too

  • Add the glycerin

  • And now that the jar is ready, I'm going to prep the lid

  • Flip up the gasket so you can add some strong glue on the bottom of it and on the top

  • This will seal the lid to the jar so the water doesn't leak out

  • Add the lid to the jar and make sure that it is sitting evenly

  • And you can go around to seal with the strong glue to prevent any leaks

  • Let this whole thing dry overnight and then you can turn it over to see your snowglobe

  • I live in a desert and I rarely see snow so this snowy desert globe is the closest thing I'm going to get to it

  • This next globe idea makes a great personal gift, and I'm using a mason jar for this one

  • You can make the globe more personal with a letter of the person's first name, or last name

  • I found this wood letter which I painted black, to make it waterproof

  • You can also add some colour to the lid with some spraypaint or some arcrylic paint

  • I took this outside to spray this neon pink

  • And while I let that dry, I'm gluing the letter down

  • But first, I recommend sanding the inside of the lid a little so that the glue has some texture to stick to

  • Glue the base of the letter down, and now the outside of the lid is dry, I'm going to add the glittery contents into the jar

  • I'm using star confetti, with more glitter to add a shiny celebration inside this jar

  • Add distilled water, glycerin, and the lid.

  • To be honest, I think I went a little overboard with the stars because they are a little heavier than the glitter so they fall to the bottom very fast

  • but I still think this globe makes a fun, personal gift

  • This next globe is probably my favourite and the easiest

  • I found this plastic water globe at the craft store and it's basically container made for you to make a custom snow globe

  • I thought it would be fun to add this guy because dinosaurs are awesome and this one came already glued onto this green round base

  • This water globe comes with an interior seal which makes it even more waterproof and this is what I'm going to glue the dinosaur to

  • I used a glue gun and placed it on top

  • Then add green glitter, and some starburst confetti

  • Add distilled water to the globe, and then glycerin, then the interior seal with the dinosaur on it

  • And tighten the lid

  • As an extra step to decorate the lid, I'm cutting a strip from this pattern paper which is the same height as the lid

  • And taping it on around the lid

  • And now this fun dino globe is ready to go!

  • And it's really cool how the round globe magnifies your object

  • The dinosaur looks a lot larger than it really is

  • I really like how all of these turned out and I hope these gave you some ideas on how you can customize your own snow globe

  • If you try any of these methods out, I would love to see your project pictures
