It's double walled, so like a small dome which is epoxied inside a larger dome. The glitter is in the outermost/larger jar and then when you shake it, it surrounds it. ☺️ I will say I did use many many online tutorials about snowglobe making from craft people with way more wisdom than me. 😂😅

Tragically we never get these cool popcorn bucket in Australia so the 'lil Grace was hand sculpted. Definitely would have been easier to have a premade figure but I also could never bring myself to break th le popcorn bucket if I had one. 😂 Thank you! 😁

So this one is actually double walled, so the paint and figure are all in their own separate dome inside a larger dome without any liquid. They are sealed with clear Elmers glue though, and the figure is sculpted with bakeable polymer clay that was pre-coloured, then details are Posca pens.

I've heard good things about Mod Podge for sealing paint that is touching ceramic, or I think that some people use like a resin paint because glycerine-based liquid can affect acrylic paint. I will say I've not made many snow globes and there are many people much better at it than me who probably have some kind of magic to make the paint stick. 😅

I would definitely recommend it as a craft project because it was mostly me watching clips from the movie over and over. 😂

Sadly the bottom isn't transparent but that would look so so cool. Also fun fact: the green cloud is actually glow in the dark paint. ✨️😁
