Considering this, what kind of glycerin do you use for snow globes?
Fill the jar almost to the top with distilled water; add a pinch of glitter and a dash of glycerin to keep the glitter from falling too quickly. (Don't add too much, or the glitter will stick to the bottom of the jar when it's flipped.) Screw on the lid tightly, being careful not to dislodge the figurine.
Also Know, why does the glitter float in my snow globe? If your glitter all floats at the top, you don't have enough. If it all sinks to the bottom and doesn't want to move when you shake the jar, you have too much. To save water, start with a little and add until you're happy with the float of your glitter.
Also Know, how much glitter do you put in a snow globe?
Too much glitter will make it hard to see what's in your snow globe, and too little glycerin will make it so the glitter just drops when the jar is shaken. Personally, we used about 3/4 cup of water, 3 teaspoons glycerin and 2 teaspoons glitter.
Can you use baby oil instead of glycerin for snow globes?
Another option is to fill your jar with mineral oil or baby oil instead of using the distilled water and glycerin.
