I have a love/hate relationship with glitter. I can’t deny my children of the mess because I can understand its appeal. This glitter globe is a simple recycled project because you can use an empty glass jar and a knickknack picked up from the thrift store. We’ve had this little fairy for a while now intending to make a snow globe. I looked at quite a few tutorials, but ended up following this one from Robert Mahar over at the Junior Society. I used a plastic cap to elevate the little fairy so she wouldn’t be flat to the jar top (or bottom, depending on your perspective). I think I’d like to add some satin ribbon around the base.
So naturally when you leave tiny little glitter (thanks, Martha) on a table within a kid’s reach, this might happen. My six-year-old did some experimenting with “magic potions”.
Then it turned into this. Then it was time for a bath.
I love this idea! And I have a pantry full of empty glass jars I can use. I have a love/hate relationship with glitter too, it’s so fun to use but drives me (and my husband) crazy when we have to clean it up for the next two weeks!
Love it and can’t wait to try it with Meg and the perfect junk. I mean treasure. And I don’t hate glitter at all!
How fun! Thanks for link to the Junior Society tutorial. I never made it to the ‘magic potion’ stage but I can definitely relate to the curiosity of ‘what would all this stuff look like dumped into one bowl.’ LOL
