Take your lid and hot glue a palm tree and flamingo to it. Keep your items toward the center of the jar if your jar tapers in.

If you plan on making multiples go ahead and repeat this step with another lid.

Fill the jar to the top with water, and add in five to six drops of glycerine. This helps the glitter that is added in the next step float when the snow globe is shaken.

Add a small amount of glitter in your chosen color—a little glitter goes a long way. I really like the way gold glitter looks, but you can use any color you’d like.

Take your lid and place it into the jar upside down, and twist it on tightly.

And if you’re feeling a little extra festive, go ahead and hot glue some embellishments on the base.
