How To Make

Step 1: laminate photo or use clear packing tape to act as laminate. Cut out leaving a decent border to prevent water leakage. 

Step 2: using either hot glue or double sided tape, attach the penguin and photo to the lid of the globe.

Step 3: allow 10 mins dry time.

Step 4: if using double sided tape, add glitter to the exposed tape area to coat it. If using hot glue, skip step.

Step 5: add 1-3 teaspoons glitter or snow, depending on how heavy you want it.

Step 6: add 2-3 teaspoon vegetable glycerin, if you’d like a much slower glitter/snow fall, add more. 

Step 7: add water to snow globe and fill to the top of the glob opening.

Step 8: over a sink place lid on top, water should come out. 

Step 9: if you like the look of the globe, take lid off and dry very well. Dry thread on the globe very well. If you don’t, add more glitter or glycerin, 

Step 10: hot glue the lid and quickly attach. 

Step 11: add the ribbon and garland.
