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.
Things You'll Need
- Glass jar with lid Spray paint Florist clay Plastic toy truck Karo syrup Water Glitter Hot glue gun
Instructions

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.

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.
-

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