New Year's jar with snow - DIY decor. Let's make a magic ball with snow - a small miracle with our own hands! How to make a New Year's water ball

You can very easily make a New Year's snow globe with your own hands from scrap materials. This is one of the most popular Christmas souvenirs all over the world. To decorate a souvenir, you can make some kind of figurine, for example, like here, a snowman. You can sculpt from any modeling mass, except salted dough, which dissolves in water

For work we will need:

glass jar with a tight-fitting lid, boiled or distilled water, glycerin solution; waterproof glue (two-component transparent waterproof epoxy glue, florist clay, aquarium sealant, glue gun in the form of silicone sticks), snow substitute ( artificial snow, body glitter, crushed foam, broken eggshell, coconut flakes, white beads); various figurines made from chocolate eggs, homemade toys from polymer clay, various little things- to decorate a souvenir, you can use anything except salt dough, which dissolves in water.

The inner surface of the jar must be washed and dried. Glue the prepared figures onto the inside of the lid. If we need to use any metal parts, we must first coat them with colorless nail polish - otherwise they risk corroding and ruining the craft.

Now we pour boiled water mixed with glycerin in a 1:1 ratio into the jar, but you can add more antifreeze - then the snow inside the dome will be very slow and “lazy”. Pour “snowflakes” from the selected material into this liquid, and if they fall too quickly, add more glycerin. After snow testing is completed, we are left with last step: screw the lid tightly, treat the joint with glue. When the craft is dry, you can turn it upside down and admire the result!

With a figurine and falling snow inside - a Christmas souvenir known all over the world. It is believed that the French were the first to make such crafts back in the 19th century. Today on the eve New Year's holidays You can buy a similar product in any store, but it is much more interesting to make a snow globe with your own hands.

You can make a snow globe with your own hands from almost any container. Baby food jars and other food products are great for this purpose. Remember, the more interesting the shape of the container, the more original the finished craft will look. You can put any figures inside the jar: factory-made souvenirs, small children's toys, you can make the decor yourself from polymer clay. Before starting to make the craft, rinse and dry the container thoroughly.

Making interior decor

A homemade New Year's snow globe can stand on the lid or bottom of a jar. Decide in advance what you like best and start decorating the part that will become the bottom.

Option one: glue the selected figures directly onto the lid or bottom. Fill the remaining space around with glue and sprinkle with foam shavings or glitter. Leave the decor to dry for a while. It is believed that a snow globe made by yourself will look most impressive if you install the interior decor on a slight elevation. The easiest way to achieve this effect is to use a piece of plasticine. Make a cake of suitable shape and size and glue it to the lid or bottom with glue. Next, install the decorative figures by drowning their bases in plasticine, and then mask the base with foam or glitter.

The magic begins

As soon as the blank with the interior decor is dry, you can begin filling our container and assembling it. at home? To fill the container you will need glycerin - you can buy it at the pharmacy. Pour distilled water into the jar - 2/3 full. Fill the remaining space with glycerin. Don't forget to add sparkles, sequins, beads or other small elements that imitate falling snow. If you don’t have anything suitable at hand, you can make “snowflakes” from finely chopped rain, foil or waterproof confetti.

Sealing and finishing touches

Even if the lid of your jar closes tightly, it is a good idea to coat it with glue before screwing it on. Handle the finished souvenir very carefully. Remember, if the glass snow globe leaks or breaks, you will ruin the textiles or very dirty the furniture.

Your magical New Year's craft ready, but if desired, you can add a few finishing touches. Decorate the outside of the lid using foil, wrapping paper, or beautiful fabric. If top part souvenir is flat, you can glue a small decorative figurine on it.

Is it possible to make a ball with falling snow without glycerin?

A popular question among those who decided to make a snow globe with their own hands for the first time is whether it is possible to use ordinary water without additives to make this craft? Actually it's not best idea, since glycerin slows down settling to the bottom and extends the “shelf life” of the souvenir. Ordinary water will deteriorate faster, the interior decor may become covered with an unpleasant coating, or the liquid itself may become cloudy.

If you don’t have glycerin on hand, but you want to start the creative process right now, you can replace it with refined vegetable oil or very sweet clear syrup. But remember, no matter what product you choose, in any case it will go bad in a few months. This also applies to glycerin.

It is believed that the smaller the snow globe and the more interesting its shape, the prettier it looks. Whether to follow this rule or not is your personal choice, but do not use jars larger than 1 liter for this craft.

A souvenir with falling snow can also be made from plastic container. The main condition is a tightly closing lid, transparency of the vessel and the absence of unnecessary edges and unsightly seams on its surface. A similar principle is used to select glass jar. Best for making this craft suitable container with smooth walls or a small number of edges. But a complex cut will interfere with viewing a fascinating inner world compositions.

Now you know how to make a snow globe, but still wondering what to put inside? Small houses, Christmas trees, snowmen, Santa Claus, figurines of animals or fairy-tale characters - if you create with your child.

A craft with “falling” snow can be not only for New Year’s. Try making such a souvenir for March 8 or Valentine's Day. Accordingly, the interior decor should support the holiday theme, and only sparkles, multi-colored beads and confetti can fall in such a ball; foam chips are not needed.

Another one interesting idea- make a ball with a postcard or photo inside. You will need a paper photo or a beautiful picture of a suitable size. Cover the workpiece with transparent tape so that it does not get wet. Next, as always, place the decor inside and mask its base, add glitter and finish the craft by pouring the solution and sealing the lid tightly.

Glass jars;

You can glue shapes to the bottom of the jar or to the lid itself and decorate them with pompom balls on top.

1. Glue the Christmas tree figurine and the spruce branch to each other.

2. Apply glue to the bottom of the Christmas tree stand and glue it to the bottom of the jar. Leave until completely dry.

Snow globe from a wine glass

A snow globe can also be made from glass goblet. The decoration will turn out to be very unusual and beautiful, and can serve as an original candlestick.

Materials:

Small Christmas tree figurines or other toys,

Artificial snow or snow substitute,

Hot melt adhesive.

How to make a snow globe

For the snow globe, choose a beautiful wine glass with a long stem. Usually, red wine is served in this way.

Place the glass on the cardboard and trace its diameter with a pencil. Then this circle needs to be cut out with scissors.

Glue small Christmas tree figures to the cardboard using glue.

Take one tablespoon of artificial snow and pour it into a glass.

Hot glue the edges of the cardboard and attach it to the wine glass.

You can add an extra nice layer of wrapping paper on top to make it pretty.

For strength, you can apply several layers of glue along the edges so that the base sits firmly.

Hello, dear readers! We all know factory-made glass balls with liquid and a beautiful composition, which, when shaken, “activate” snowfall inside the container, but not everyone knows that a similar item can be made independently. That is why today we will tell you how to make a snow globe with your own hands, practically from scrap materials. We recommend involving children in the process of creating such a wonderful item; it will be very interesting for them to observe and perhaps even participate in its recreation.

DIY glass ball with snow.

What you will need:

1. A small jar with a screw cap (you can buy it specially glass jar with baby puree).
2. Nail polish.
3. Polymer glue or Moment.
4. White tinsel or artificial snow.
5. Scissors.
6. White and silver glitter.
7. A suitable figurine is clay, ceramic or plastic (sold in any souvenir departments).
8. Glycerin (can be bought for about 8 rubles at absolutely any pharmacy).
9. Purified water (distilled or purified with a home water filter).

How to make a snow globe with your own hands.

Using scissors, cut the white tinsel very finely, cut as finely as possible, since even the smallest particles will visually appear large in water.

Paint the lid of the jar with a matching nail polish color. Also pay attention to the inner walls of the lid, since more often than not the product will be in an upside-down state, which means that possible unadorned places will be evident.

After the varnish on the lid has hardened, glue the selected figure to the inside of it. We used a figurine of the Moscow Kremlin, it’s just a pity that the inscription on it is in English, but apparently in Moscow such products are purchased more often by foreign tourists than by our compatriots, since literally all the souvenirs are full of English-language engravings.

You can place Kinder Surprise figures, small figurines or small children's toys inside your snow globe. We recommend stopping by the gift shop and purchasing a tiny plastic Christmas tree or snowman. If you don’t want to look around the city for a souvenir shop, visit any hypermarket; they usually have departments with similar trinkets.

Try to select small figures. Glass with water will act as a magnifying glass, so a large composition will appear bloated and dimensionless.

Now we proceed to the next more interesting step, pour glycerin into the jar, look at the photo below to see how much we poured into a small container. The speed of rotation of snowflakes will depend on the amount of glycerin; the more of it, the slower they will spin. Many people are interested in the question: is it possible to make a snow globe without glycerin just using water? The answer is no, without glycerin the snowflakes will immediately fall to the bottom of the container, while with it they can swirl around the composition inside the jar for quite a long time.

We also pour purified water into the jar with glycerin to the top. It is important that the water is crystal clear, which is why we recommend using either distilled water or simply purified in a home filter.

Well, here we come to the very interesting moment. Pour half a teaspoon of previously chopped white tinsel or prepared artificial snow into the jar. Mix it with a teaspoon and see how our snowflakes “come to life”. Do not add a lot of snow, otherwise the composition itself will not be visible behind the snowfall.

Add 1/3 teaspoon of white and silver glitter here. Mix everything thoroughly. Here I would like to say that the point with sparkles can, in principle, be completely skipped; snow alone will be quite enough.

We close the jar with a lid on which the figurine is attached. Scroll the lid with special care so that the liquid does not leak out. Ideally, the lid should be treated with a layer of glue with inside, and only then tighten it.

Finally, you can decorate the neck of the jar with rhinestones, tie a ribbon with a bow, or make a spectacular stand from polymer clay. We decided to leave our snow globe with the lid and neck open; we didn’t want to burden the composition unnecessary details.

Before you pick up your snow globe, wipe it with a napkin to remove any marks left during the creation process. Now shake our snow globe and admire the snowfall, as well as the playful shimmer of white and silver glitter.
