My guys wanted to include a Mini Green Sisal Tree, a reindeer crossing sign and a North Pole sign in their Snow Globe, so that is what we will be putting inside! Take one of the Mini Green Sisal Tree and add a drop of E6000 Craft Adhesive Glue to the base. Firmly place it on to the underside of the Snow Globe lid.

We repeated this same step with our Reindeer Crossing signage. We had these lying around from an old Christmas village we used to set up but no longer needed. They worked out perfectly! Allow the glue to dry for up to 24 hours.

Fill the snow globe with distilled water and then add five drops of Glycerin. This will help the glitter suspend throughout the water.
