snow globes
Last week, the kids and I attempted to make snow globes.
We followed this tutorial and they sort of turned out.
But not as good as I hoped.
I couldn’t get the right proportion of glycerine/water/glitter and then the trees kept coming unglued from the bases.
So, actually, the diy was sort of a flop.
If I were to do it again, I would forgo the water, and do something simple like Melissa did:
Faux snow + faux tree + giant mason jar. So simple and so pretty.
Or I would just line up a bunch of bleached bottle brush trees like Bonnie did:
She even shows you how to bleach your own trees if your craft store only sells the green ones.
Or maybe I would spring for a real snow globe since I could literally shake and stare for a good 30 minutes. They’re mesmerizing, I tell ya.

Sometimes its just worth it to buy the real thing, I suppose.
And that is the story of how I tried and failed at one of the easiest diy projects floating around the web. You win some, you lose some.
