How do you make a glass snow globe?
Fill the jar almost to the top with distilled water; add a pinch of glitter and a dash of glycerin to keep the glitter from falling too quickly. (Don't add too much, or the glitter will stick to the bottom of the jar when it's flipped.) Screw on the lid tightly, being careful not to dislodge the figurine.

Can you make a snow globe without glycerin?

Why is the glitter clumping in my snow globe?
If this happens to your snowglobe, I would suggest spooning out the glitter that has floated to the top. You may notice that some of the glitter clumps together but after a day or two the glitter should started to seperate. If you notice that the glitter is still clumping, you may have used too much glycerin.
Why does the glitter float in my snow globe?
If your glitter all floats at the top, you don't have enough. If it all sinks to the bottom and doesn't want to move when you shake the jar, you have too much. ... You may think the more glitter the better, but to be honest, it's really easy to go from snow to blizzard!

How do you keep glitter from clumping in a snow globe?
Add a small amount of water and gently shake and swirl the bottle to help prevent the glitter from clumping. Add glycerine until the bottle is about one-quarter full. (Tip: if you're making a few bottles, you can use different amounts of glycerine in each one.
Can you use baby oil instead of glycerin for snow globes?
Add several drops of glycerin to keep your "snow" suspended, so it falls correctly. Another option is to fill your jar with mineral oil or baby oil instead of using the distilled water and glycerin. ... Place the lid on the jar, close tightly, and shake to test how the snow falls and the overall look of your snow globe.
What kind of glycerin is used in snow globes?
Glycerin (or corn syrup) is more dense than water; so after we added it to the snow globe, the snow fell more slowly. Try adding a few more drops of glycerin (or corn syrup). What did you notice? You should have found that the more glycerin (or corn syrup) you add, the slower the snow falls.
