::DIY::Luxe Snow globes:: 

• A jar of your choice (with a lid)
• jewellery
• Anti-rust sealant for metal pieces
• Clear-drying epoxy  
• Distilled water
• Dash of glycerin
• Large silver or white glitter (smaller versions will float at the top)

Steps:

1. Use clear-drying epoxy to adhere your piece to the inside of the lid. 
2. After the epoxy dries, fill your jar with distilled or boiled water 
3. Add just a dash of glycerin so the “snow” falls slowly.
4. Add glitter. If you don’t like the look of glitter, you can use faux snow (find@craft stores.)
5. Screw your lid on tightly„,then enjoy your snowglobe
