Light bulb snow globes

Step 4 Snowman -the upright lightbulb continued

• Add 1/2 to 1 teaspoon egg shells (snow).
• Add 1/2 to 1 teaspoon glitter.
• Add distilled or boiled then cooled water, about 3/4 full.
• Add a couple of drops glycerine (I tried adding the glycerine first, but it made the glitter clump together.)
• Top up with the water, as full as you can.

Putting it together

• Apply silicone sealant to the inside of the cap.
• Place cap on light bulb neck and apply sealant to outer rim of bottle cap.
• Leave upside down until sealant cures (see instructions on package, mine required 48 hrs.) I suggest waiting longer than the recommended time, to make sure it's fully cured before you turn it right side up.

why do we add glycerine?

[ChrysN]

Adding glycerin make the snow/glitter fall slower.

Try using baby oil instead of water. It is clear, but thicker so the glitter/snow won't setting as quickly!

I was thinking about that, but wasn't sure how the oil would work with the glue. The snow would definitely fall more gently.

That's true... The snow globes i had made were in mason jars...

Mason jars, that sound really cool.
