Supplies
Makes one succulent snow globe
Make It!
Search for a succulent that may match by the small opening of the spice jar in addition to match contained in the globe. Trim the stem if crucial.
Reduce a wine cork into three sections. If the succulent has no stem, glue it on to the wine cork and permit it to dry. If the succulent has a stem, trim it to dimension and use the nail to make a gap to set the succulent stem in. Glue the stem into the cork and permit it to dry.
Subsequent, glue the cork to the underside of the spice jar lid. Make sure to not get any glue on the seal across the inside the lid. Gorilla Glue expands, so preserve it neat, and the seal won’t be compromised when it’s full of water.
Permit it to dry for 1-2 hours.
Fill the spice jar with water, after which add some glycerin and glitter. Select white glitter that’s small however not superfine. It is going to clump along with the glycerin and appear to be snow. The glycerin additionally helps to decelerate the glitter’s motion so you may get pleasure from it for longer.

If you end up able to assemble the snow globe, prime the jar up with water in order that it’s full to the brim. Maintain it over the sink and add the lid with the succulent and twist it into place.
Word: Remember to accurately place the succulent within the jar if there’s a “entrance” to your design. The jar has a flat entrance/again and rounded sides, so it’s finest to check the place earlier than gluing the succulent in for good.
Use a transparent silicone sealer across the lid to carry it in place completely.
