45. Remember the fun you had with snow globes. Boy was it easy to get lost in that little scene with snow falling. Well make some of these as gifts (great for the kids). You need jars- olive jars, pimento jars, and baby food jars are good ones. Little plastic figurines (they don't rust), some artificial greenery for trees, clear-drying epoxy, distilled water, glitter, glycerin, and oil paints in holiday colors in case the lids need painting. Roughen the inside of the lid with sandpaper then glue the figurines down with the epoxy. Fill the jar almost to the top with the water and add a pinch of glitter (not too much) and a dash of glycerin. The glycerin thickens the water and keeps it from "snowing" too fast. Screw the lid on tightly. Then shake, shake, shake. Some crafters have put some of the epoxy around the lid of the jar after screwing it on to avoid possible leaks.
