Designing a round plastic snow globe with a screw cap

1. Note that the figure inside the globe will appear larger due to the water. Glue the figure onto the smaller inner sealing cap. It is best to use superglue, high-strength adhesive, or model-making glue. Allow it to dry thoroughly.

2. Fill the glass globe with snow or glitter and top it up with distilled water. Place it upside down in a cup. Add a drop of dish soap and a few drops of water clarifier. Alternatively, use the ready-made mixture for snow globes.

3. Press the inner sealing cap into the globe from above. Please note that you will not be able to inject more water later. Therefore, it is better to fill it with a bit more water now.

4. Screw the base onto the globe. Finished!

5. You can additionally decorate the base with a gift ribbon or paint it with acrylic paint.

Please note: Our bases for the 100mm glass globes do NOT fit this globe. The shaft is too thick due to the screw cap.

Here are 6 tips for better results

1. Please ensure that the figurine for the interior design is as wide as possible at the bottom. The wider the surface area you glue to the sealing cap, the better.

2. The interior will ultimately appear significantly larger due to the water and the glass. Please note that the figure should only be about 50–60% of the size of the globe; otherwise, it will later look as if the figure is "bumping into" the inside.

3. To ensure that the snow and glitter are optimally distributed in the water and do not "stick" to the top, it is important to break the surface tension of the water. One or two small drops of dish soap in the water are sufficient for this.

4. Let the filled globe stand for one day before shaking it. If air bubbles have formed, unscrew it again and add more water.

5. Please use distilled water and snow that is specifically suitable for snow globe fillings. Normal decorative snow made of Styrofoam is not suitable for this. These light beads do not sink in the water but float at the top.
