These waterless snow globes are the perfect winter craft to do with your kids after playing in the snow. All you’ll need is tacky glue, and we’ll provide the rest! Kits are available from the library or the drive-up window while supplies last.
Supplies needed at home:
- Tacky white craft glue
- (Optional) One plastic bottle cap; the taller the better
Included in supply kit:
- One glass jar with lid
- One plastic deer
- One bottle brush fir tree
- Bag of glitter snow
Instructions:
- (Optional) You can glue the lid’s inner seal to the rest of the lid and let dry to create one piece, but you will still be able to complete the craft without this step.
- Fill the base of the jar’s lid with glue and let dry for a minute or two until it gets a bit gummy.
- Stick the deer figurine and fir tree into the glue. Be sure to space them in a way that you will be able to get the jar closed.
- (Optional) If you have a bottle cap, you can glue that down for your deer to stand on so it can be seen over the lid of the jar. Apply more glue to the bottle cap to stick your deer to, then add more glue and glitter snow to cover the bottle cap.
- Add more glue, and then cover that layer of glue with glitter snow.
- Let your creation dry uncovered for a few days, and then place the jar over the embellished top and screw it on.
