i pinned it, i did it - birthday parties

DINOSAUR SNOW GLOBES:

i didn't get many pictures of the kids making these at the party so brenna and i made another one yesterday to show you what to do.
what you need:

- plastic toy of choice

- confetti

- sequins

- glitter

- water

- glycerin (or baby oil...i used the glycerin but baby oil would be less expensive and i found some sites that said that worked fine.)

- jar with a lid (think about using what you might already have, babyfood jar, spice jar, ect. since i didn't have enough of the same type of jar for the party i found these jars at Hobby Lobby. i got them for a dollar each since all their glass wear was 50% off... bonus!)

- glue to seal your lid (not pictured) I used a two part epoxy you can find at the craft store or walmart.

what you do:

1. Add your toy, glitter, confetti, sequins. the glitter floats the best since it is the lightest.
2. Add your glycerin (this is what will make your sparkly things float) i filled my jars about 1/3 full with the glycerin.
3. Fill the jar the rest of the way with regular water.

4. Seal your lid. i used a two part epoxy that i found at Hobby Lobby. you don't want your little ones removing the lid and having everything spill out.
5. Shake and enjoy :)
