What is the best liquid to use in a 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 replace the glass on a snow globe?

Can it be fixed? Accidents do happen, and glass is by its nature, very breakable. If you drop your globe, save all pieces except glass shards (discard broken glass carefully). We can often replace the glass, liquid and confetti or snow and rebuild the globe for a repair charge which will be quoted to you at that time.

Are snow globes worth money?

Certain snow globes are worth as much as several thousands of dollars. Collect snow globes by category such as by age, by maker, by character, etc. Some valuable snow globes feature tourist landmarks or famous cities. Antique and vintage snow globes of good quality materials hold their value.

What can I use instead of glycerin in a snow globe?

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.

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.

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).

How much glycerin do I put in my water for a snow globe?

Fill the jar up with water until you are about one inch from the top. Then, add about 2 tablespoons of glycerin. Lastly, stir glycerin so it blends evenly throughout the water.

Why did my snow globe turn yellow?

One reason snow globe water may turn yellow is because improper water was used when it was filled. Over time, the sunlight can virtually evaporate the water from inside the globe, and encourage bacteria to grow in non-distilled water.

Can you clean the water in a snow globe?

Allow the snow globe to sit for five to 10 minutes or until all the snow and glitter has settled at the top of the glass in the snow globe. Use a turkey baster or suction device to remove the water from the snow globe and discard in the sink. You will fill up the baster several times to remove all the water.

Should a snow globe have an air bubble?

Usually if a snow globe is produced completely free of any (even tiny) air bubbles, it will stay that way for many years, as long as it's not displayed in direct sunlight or consistently high temperatures. In addition, very cold temperatures can cause the water to contract, sometimes causing temporary air bubbles.

What is the snow in snow globes?

The snow or "flitter" was created by use of bone chips or pieces of porcelain, sand or even sawdust. As they became more sophisticated, the glass became thinner, the bases were lighter (Bakelite was popular during the Art Deco period) and the snow was made out of particles of gold foil or non-soluble soap flakes.

Can snow globes be refilled?

Snow globes are fragile and, therefore, difficult to refill on your own. Also, they contain a combination of glycerin and distilled water, which is hard to recreate from home. If your precious snow globe's liquid evaporated or turned cloudy, you can restore it to pristine condition with a professional's assistance.

How do you fix a snow globe leak?

Fill a plastic syringe with water and carefully add water to the globe through the hole until it is completely full. Press the plug back into place, tapping it gently with a small craft hammer. If the globe previously leaked, seal the plug into the globe with a ring of clear epoxy.

What is a substitute for glycerin?

Propylene glycol is a colorless, odorless liquid with similar humectant, or moisturizing, properties to glycerin. Also known as PG, propylene glycol is commonly used as a glycerin substitute in cosmetic and toiletry products because it is typically cheaper.

Is glycerin and baby oil the same thing?

Glycerin has a density of about 1.2gm per cm3, while baby oil has density of 0.8. The less dense baby oil offers less resistance and I imagine will give quicker falling flakes of snow.

How much antifreeze is in a snow globe?

Another source of antifreeze are the decorative "snow globes" glassware. The liquid in these displays contain 2% antifreeze and are very toxic.

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 buy glycerin at Walmart?

Vegetable Glycerin Pure & Natural, USP, Food Grade, Kosher - 6 oz Bottle - Walmart.com - Walmart.com.

How much baby oil do you put in a snow globe?

Fill the jar three-quarters full with baby oil. Use unscented oil, as scented oils may yellow over time.
