How do you make a Mason jar snow globe without glycerin?

Liquid glycerin increases the viscosity of water, allowing the glitter to sink more slowly. But glycerin can be hard to find in stores… especially during the busy holiday season. To make a snow globe without glycerin, simply use clear glue instead.

What liquid do they put in snow globes?

One of the secret ingredients to any snow globe is glycerin, a clear liquid typically made from vegetable oils, which is widely used to slow down the effect of shaken water and glitter, to the effect of falling snow.

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 can you use instead of glycerin in snow globes?

There are plenty of ways you can substitute glycerin when bringing your homemade snow globes to life. Some glycerin alternatives include light corn syrup, mineral oil, baby oil, or a clear cooking oil.

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.

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.
