How to Make Snow Globes for Money

If you are a Stay-at-Home-Mom and would like to earn some extra money this idea might be what you have been searching for. However, the income and profit your earn will largely depend on your goals and motivations. This is the type of business that you can continue to grow because it is very affordable for everyone.

Snow globes come in all sizes and shapes and can be easily bought wholesale and then resold. However, if you want to maximize profits, then you should consider creating your own. Of course, this requires patience and creativity. You can turn simple snow globes into beautiful pieces of art.

To make a snow globe, you will need to accumulate baby jars, canning jars and jelly jars. However, you may use any jar that is transparent and clear as long as the jar comes with a lid.

The next step is to turn your lid over and start creating your scene for your snow globe. You will need very small objects (the smaller the better) and then glue them to the under side of the lid. For ideas try using costume jewelry or clock parts from old watches. If you want, you can also try to create human shapes by using plastic wires.

To achieve the falling snow effect, you will need crushed eggshells from hard boiled eggs. Why hard boiled? This allows easy removal of the thin lining you can find beneath the eggshells, which can ruin the beauty of the snow globe.

Next fill your jar with mineral oil. The reason you want to use mineral oil is because it is thick and will cause the crushed egg shells to fall and resemble falling snow.

However, if you don't want to use eggshells you can also use glitter which comes in different colors. Now you are ready to screw the lid on the jar and use clear adhesive to seal the lid.

Next turn it upside down, shake it, and behold! You have your own snow globe ready for sale. The more you use your imagination the better results you will get, so keep trying on making different scenes.

Plus, keep in mind that your maximum sales will be in the holiday season, so put on your thinking cap during that time.

After creating your snow globes, you need to advertise them. Otherwise how would people know about them, right? Starting with a small website with beautiful images of your snow globes is a good idea. You can upload a form which people can fill out online to order snow globes from you. Also create some leaflets to spread around your neighborhood. Target especially the shopping centers where people will be looking for gifts.

Once you get a few customers, you are well on your way to doing a great business. Just keep in mind that you have to try different things and the money will follow. Best of luck!
