A snow globe always consists of one and a transparent Acrylic- or glass cover. The decoration is made directly on the base plate.
Here's how it's done
When making a snow globe, always remember that the water filling acts like a magnifying glass. We therefore recommend for a
snow globe of the dimensions 7 x 5,5 x 5,5 cm decorations with the maximum size of approx. 3 x 3 cm, for a
snow globe with Ø 85 mm maximum approx. 6 x 4 cm eye-catchers. Before gluing on your figure or object, test the magnifying effect by first "tacking" it with Adhesive tape and holding it in the glass cover filled with water.
All materials that are insensitive to moisture are suitable for filling the snow globe. A small figure made of polyresin or self formed from Fimo-Modelling clay, small bead miniatures are fixed on the base plate with
super glue. The snow of a snow globe can be represented excellently with Structure Paste .
As soon as the base plate is decorated, the transparent hood is glued on with super glue. Important: no area may remain unglued, so that no liquid can escape later.
Fill the snow globe with water through the bottom hole. So that no clouding of the snowball occurs,
Preservative according to the product instructions. Add
snow filling material. Finally seal the bottom hole with super glue.
