How to Make a DIY Winter Wonderland Snow Globe

1. Remove liner seal from the lid of your salve jar.

2. Using the epoxy or waterproof glue, adhere your figurines to the inside of your lid. Make sure that your figurines aren’t too tall for the jar. One of my trees I used in this snow globe was originally too tall. I just trimmed the top to make it fit.

3. Once the figurines are glued to the inside lid, let it sit to dry.

4. Fill the salve jar 3/4 full with distilled water. Add glitter and glycerin. Top with more distilled water, making sure that it won’t overflow once you put the lid with the figurines on.

5. Add glue to the top edge of the salve jar to help make sure the snow globe won’t leak.

6. Twist on the lid with the attached figurines.

7. Shake the jar and watch the magic happen!
