My Hobby Table is covered with all the pieces needed to build snow globes.
Glitter dust can be seen on the table as the sun’s rays come through the window.
I’m experimenting this year with different ingredients to get the glitter to sink instead of float.
Clear hand soap seems to work best at getting the glitter to sink, but it causes soap suds to float to the top.
I’m using only a tiny drop of soap too. Still, though, it creates suds that float to the top. The suds are only about the size of a dime.
To remedy it, I got a big Tote Box out.
I cleaned the inside of the “Tote” and filled it with water.
Then, I assemble the “Globe” while it is submerged under the water.
Doing so helps get all the air and suds out of the globe.
Still, though, tiny bubbles collect at the top. Thankfully, It’s only a few, and I’ll have to learn to live with ’em.
I plan on making twenty-five snow globes this year.
I sign and date the bottom once I finish one, and so far this year, I have yet to sign a single one because I find something wrong with everyone I inspect. —It’s usually the tiny bubbles that give me a problem.
I saw “how-to” videos of people using Turkey Basters to get the air and bubbles out of their Globes.
So, I’ll run to the “Pig” and buy myself a Turkey Baster.
I have to have some finished by December 9th.
That’s my first Christmas get-together, and I’ll give some out as a gift.
