A snow globe with fluffy, drifting white flakes is soothing to watch all by itself.

They’re sold at many tourist spots, so plenty of people collect them, right?

They’re also a popular choice for kids’ summer break projects.

You might think, “Isn’t that hard?” but there are dedicated kits available, and there are even ideas you can make in about 30 minutes using only materials from a 100-yen shop.

Cut-and-paste snow globe

Let’s make a snow globe that’s cute to display and cute to shake.

Use a compass to draw an inner and outer circle on construction paper, then cut slits toward the center.

Cut out and remove the inner circle, join the edges with tape, and form a ring that will be the base.

Apply double-sided tape to the ring and attach plastic film over the top.

Carefully trim any excess plastic with scissors to finish the base.

Add cotton or Christmas flake stickers as you like to create the snow globe’s scene.

By changing the color of the outer rim and the types of stickers, you can complete a one-of-a-kind snow globe.

Dinosaur Snow Globe

Dinosaur Snow Globe

Many children love dinosaurs, don’t they? Some probably have lots of dinosaur merchandise, too.

So let’s make a summer vacation project using dinosaurs: a snow globe in a glass container filled with liquid laundry starch (or school glue) and purified water.

Use a hot glue gun to attach a dinosaur figurine to the inside of the glass lid.

Be careful when using the glue gun, as it gets very hot.

Pour the laundry starch (or glue) and purified water into the container, then tint it with paint in your favorite color.

If you add glitter, you’ll get a sparkly, authentic-looking snow globe.

Close the lid and turn it upside down, and you’ll have a beautiful snow globe with a dinosaur inside.

Snow globe made from an empty bottle

Many people have probably received or bought snow globes as souvenirs or gifts.

Why not try making one with an empty jar? It’s easier than you think, and the result is beautiful and soothing.

All you need is an empty jar, a melamine sponge, liquid laundry starch (or thick laundry glue), small figurines or similar parts, and some glitter.

You can get them cheaply at a 100-yen shop.

First, attach the melamine sponge to the inside of the jar lid, then glue the figurines or other parts onto the sponge.

Put glitter into the jar itself, add laundry starch and water, mix, and screw on the lid—that’s it!

Let me introduce a refreshing aquarium-style snow globe.

Prepare liquid laundry starch (or glue), a sponge, a jar, miniature figures, ribbon, adhesive, glitter, and a chopstick.

Cut the sponge to the shape of the jar lid to make a base, then glue it in place.

Attach the figures onto the base using adhesive.

Put glitter into the jar, then add water and liquid laundry starch in a 1:1 ratio and mix well.

Close the jar with the lid that has the figures attached, making sure no air gets in, and you’re done.
