Snow Globe

Snow globes are wonderful things. They can be used as toys, decors or paper weights but no matter how you use them, they will always have that charm that is intrinsic to them. Once a person shakes a snow globe and watched the snow or glitter float inside the sphere, he will be hooked for life.

If want to add a snow globe to your collection but haven’t found the right one yet, why not try making your own? You can choose the design and figures that you want to showcase inside the sphere. It would be so much fun.

You will need a glass jar with lid, distilled water, rust-proof figurine or ornament, white glitter, 1/8 teaspoon of glycerine and an aquarium silicone sealant to finally create your personal snow globe.

Being by placing a bit of silicone sealant at the bottom of the figurine and glue it on the inside of the jar lid. Let it dry for about 12 hours. As for the jar, pour distilled water in until it is almost full. Pour in just the right amount of white glitter in the water as well as the 1/8 teaspoon of glycerine. Screw in the lid of the jar securely and flip your snow globe over. Give it a good shake to see if you had put it enough glitter. If not, you can add more.

Once satisfied with the look of your snow globe, open the jar and put a bit of the sealant on the jar’s rim for maximum security. Now, you can properly enjoy your snow globe for years to come.

Disney World is the largest and most often visited resort anywhere in the world. It attracts over 14 million guests a year to its four theme parks, two water parks, 23 resort hotels, a campground, two health spas and various other recreational centers. If you are one of those who have enjoyed a vacation in Disney World, you might want to keep a little memento, apart from your photos and videos, of your visit. If you haven't been there, you might also want a little something to remind you that you ought to go there on your next vacation. That little memento, that little reminder can be a Walt Disney World Resort Icons Mickey Mouse Snow Globe.

The Walt Disney snow globe is truly little, quite literally, as it stands only 6½ inches with a diameter of 5½. The globe is made of clear glass, with Mickey Mouse standing in the middle with his gloved hands outstretched as if to show how glad he is to see you. That, of course, is matched with a wide grin and a happy pair of eyes. He is dressed in a fine tuxedo with a red tie that matches his red trousers. Shake the globe and a hundred magic sparkles float all around Mickey.

The globe is set on a base made of sculpted resin. Surrounding the globe are relief sculptures of the icons of Disney World. These are all hand-painted in the same colors as their real life counterparts. The Cinderella Castle, the icon of the Magic Kingdom, is perched below Mickey's globe. Right beside the castle is Spaceship Earth of Epcot, and further away is the Tree of Life, the main attraction of the Animal Kingdom theme park. The Sorcerer's Hat, of course, is not left out. It is the icon of Hollywood Studios.

This visual delight is complemented with the tune It's A Small World. You only need to wind a music key to hear it.
