How to Make a Snow Globe With a Truck Inside

A snow globe is a whimsical object which gives the illusion that a miniature world is trapped inside the glass. Instead of creating a snow globe that features a mountain village or children playing in the snow, consider a snow globe that captures a personal lifestyle. If someone dear to you has that special truck, look for a small plastic toy truck to feature in the snow globe. Choose plastic over metal, to avoid rusting.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Glass jar with lid Spray paint Florist clay Plastic toy truck Karo syrup Water Glitter Hot glue gun

1. Spray paint the lid of the jar. Allow to dry before proceeding to the next step.

2. Press florist clay over the inside of the lid. Cover completely.

3. Press the plastic toy truck into the center of the florist clay, so that it is held in place.

4. Mix a solution that is 3/4 Karo syrup and 1/4 water. You will want enough to completely fill the jar.

5. Pour the solution into the jar. Fill as full as possible.

6. Add at least 1 tbsp. of glitter. A small baby food jar will take 1 tbsp. of glitter. If the jar is much larger than that, adjust the measurement to accommodate the increase in size.

7. Screw the lid on the jar. Tighten lid and wipe any moisture off the outside of the jar or lid.

8. Glue around the edge of the lid with hot glue, to seal the snow globe.

9. Turn the jar upside down when the glue dries and watch the snow fall.
