DIY Snow Globe


The Funko Bitty's make these fun.

The one pictured here is a Jack Skellington and Zero is

jumping spider habitat, I also have an Oogie Boogie one.


Now for those of you who don't have a jumping spider or

are not thinking of getting a jumping spider, that is okay.

You can turn this into Halloween or Christmas snow globes.

A couple tricks; for Halloween use some moss down

at the bottom, for Christmas use the directions listed below.

You don't have to use The Nightmare Before CHristmas

Funko Bitty's there are tons to choose from, ready? Let's go.


What you'll need is a plastic jar with a tight lid, a small

mason jar or a large mason jar pending on how big or small

you want to make it. Just make sure the lid is tight!


Hot glue gun or super glue


Distilled water


Liquid glycerin or light corn syrup


Fake snow or glitter (find at craft stores)


Small plastic trees, animals, houses, or other decorations.


Create:

Use the superglue or hot glue to affix your

trees or other decorative items to the inside of the lid. Let dry.


2. Fill a jar about 3/4 full of water

(or about 1/2 if using corn syrup).


3. Put a few pinches of glitter or fake snow in the jar.


4. Screw the lid on very tightly.


5. Turn your jar upside-down and watch the snow fall

inside your homemade DIY snow globe.


6. Now add several drops of liquid glycerin

(or an equal amount of corn syrup) making sure you leave room for air at the top. Repeat step 5.


7. Finally, if you like, you may decorate the base (lid)

of your snow globe with ribbon, fabric, or pretty paper.


***I apologize that is the best picture I

could take, there is spiderweb throughout the container.

Apple Ginger Fizz for Fall

  The kids deserve a special drink for the fall besides apple cider. This is a great fall mocktail with a beautiful flavor combination. Not just for the kiddos. This makes 1 drink What  you'll need: 3 oz still apple cider 1 oz freshly squeezed lime juice 6 mint leaves 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar Pinch powdered cinnamon 3 oz ginger ale Create: Place apple cider, lime juice, cinnamon, apple cider vinegar and a few ice cubes into a cocktail shaker. If you don't have a shaker, anything with a tight lid will work, such as a mason jar or drink bottle. Clap the mint together in your hands to release the scent, and add to the shaker. Shake for about 20-30 seconds until ingredients are combined. Pour into an ice filled glass and top with ginger ale. Stir gently, garnish with mint, dried citrus or a cinnamon stick, and serve.
