These snow globes are made from a screw-capped jam jar turned upside down. The figures inside are modelled from Fimo Kids and – once fixed in the oven – glued firmly onto the inside of the lid. The jars are filled with demineralised water and loose glitter. The lid is glued on.

Fill the jar to the rim with tap water and some glycerine. A TIP: preferably de-mineralised water which is free from bacteria and therefore lasts longer (this, and glycerine, are available from the chemist). The glycerine makes the glitter fall gently when shaking the jar.
