The best recipe for snow globe glitter is 60%water 40% glycerin. Works every Time also if you wanted to you can substitute 10% water for isopropyl alcohol with will kind of stop the water from ‘going off’.

[@glittergoldandglam]

Love this. Thanks for sharing.

[@kennedyterence4209]

best glitter?

[@glittergoldandglam]

@@kennedyterence4209 The best kind of glitter depends on how you want it to fall. The smaller the glitter, then slower the fall rate. Hope that helps.

[@LePetit2]

Normal water or distilled water?

[@glittergoldandglam]

@ definitely distilled

[@987caffe]

Thank you for doing all the hard work! You are amazing💕🌸💕

[@glittergoldandglam]

You are very welcome. So glad you liked it. Thanks for watching. 🤓

Wonder if pure mineral oil would work better than baby oil? (It’s the base ingredient). It’s possible the fragrance and additives in baby oil are the cause of surface adhesion. Lastly, mineral oil can be further thinned with mineral spirits.

[@glittergoldandglam]

I haven't tried pure mineral oil but that's a great idea. I'll definitely have to experiment with that. Thanks for the suggestion!

[@rogerjorgensen7768]

So excited, two grandsons and was looking for a project

[@glittergoldandglam]

That's awesome. I'm so happy I ended up filming this video. So many people seem to really find it helpful. Thanks for watching and commenting. I hope you guys enjoy your project.

[@indiediner101]

Hi! What is the ratio for the glycerine, alcohol and water mixture?? Equal parts?

[@glittergoldandglam]

Yes that’s correct.

[@stacieprude9823]

What % alcohol? Would rubbing alcohol work?​@@glittergoldandglam

[@glittergoldandglam]

@@stacieprude9823 I think it was 91%

[@SansoenKoedkaen]

you should receive the nobel prize

[@glittergoldandglam]

Haha. Glad you enjoyed my weird experiment.

[@daniellebarba2541]

I couldn’t agree more with this comment😂 this oddly specific video just helped me so much in planning a project for my students and I can’t believe I was lucky enough to find someone who did this

[@glittergoldandglam]

@@daniellebarba2541 Well, your comment just made my day. It's so funny how I almost didn't even post this video, thinking, "Who would really care about this other than me". Glad to know I'm not alone out here. Thanks for watching.

[@ladysip4038]

You said if we mix the glycerin with water it’ll get extremely cloudy? So does adding the alcohol prevent that? Or do you mean regular water and not distilled?

[@glittergoldandglam]

If you mix the glycerin with water, the whole thing will get cloudy, even if you add alcohol to it. I hope that's what you are asking. Let me know if it's not. Thanks for watching.

[@johnssaju9808]

​@@glittergoldandglamthe last perfect mixture is glycerin water and alcohol right...and it's not cloudy...sry if I'm wrong...I'm working a snowy globe project...I'm just trying to find out...what mixture I should use

[@askraphaela]

@@johnssaju9808 I am not really sure, but I said it in the video. One of them was not cloudy at all.

[@mlwm7]

I'm confused too. I thought you said in the video that either blend of glycerin/water/alcohol OR glue/water/alcohol settled clear and fell slow. The video had both jars compared at about 5 min into the video. You also said earlier not to mix glycerin and water or alcohol because it turns cloudy, but it didn't seem to at the 5-minute demo. ?? Love this video! Thanks for doing all this and showing the comparisons!

[@glittergoldandglam]

@@mlwm7 Yeah, I just went back and rewatched it. The glycerin made it cloudy. I know it doesn't really look like it in the video, but compared to the clarity of the other ones, adding the glycerin to any of the formulas made them cloudy. I hope that answers your questions.

[@crazyamy1702]

what kind of glue and what was the ratios?

[@glittergoldandglam]

The glue was Darice clear glue and in this video when I was showing the glue one, it was just straight glue and glitter. Hope that helps.

[@Michael-gp5nb]

I did a wreath like this only with St Patrick's Day boas❄️🤗

[@glittergoldandglam]

I bet that turned out great. Thanks for watching.

[@joybrig]

Does it need to be distilled water? Can you use drinking water or faucet water?

[@glittergoldandglam]

You can use whatever water you want, but distilled water is the only one that won't end up with mold in it. Hope that helps.

[@joybrig]

@@glittergoldandglam Thank you so much. I really appreciate it.

[@glittergoldandglam]

@@joybrig You are more than welcome. Trust me, I used to make everything with just regular filtered tap water, but then it would always end up smelling king of moldy. I read something in a blog once talking about how distilled water was the only way to make something basically ‘shelf stable’ so it wouldn’t mold. I switched and never looked back. It’s a great trick.

[@rararara7009]

I'm about to do a project with my grandbabies and I wanted to make a snow globe. Thank you! Thank you so much, I didn't know there would be a difference

[@invisiblestorm2004]

What would happen if you mixed distilled water, glycerin, 91% alc 1:1:1 ? 😮

[@glittergoldandglam]

@@invisiblestorm2004 I have no idea, but if you do it, let me know.

[@BW-dh8ih]

You mentioned that you used 3 kinds of glitter, but I only saw 2 glitters with links in the comments. What am I missing? 🤔

[@glittergoldandglam]

You are correct. I just went back and added it to the description. The third one was confetti glitter. It's not sold on amazon anymore, so I didn't include it. I hope that helps. Thanks for watching.

[@NextLevelMeNow]

This is a great video- if you can keep the captions on for what each is while you are explaining for longer-

[@glittergoldandglam]

@@NextLevelMeNow Yeah I agree. I will keep them on longer next time. I’m glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching. 🥰

[@dianehouston3452]

The glitter on mine dosent fall it stays on top

[@glittergoldandglam]

On top of what? What kind of glitter? What are you putting it in?

[@dianehouston3452]

Its plastic container The glitter it's dollar store glitter. It's floats on the top. It dosent go down to the bottom of the container. . I tryed oil, and alcohol. With alcohol it did somewhat OK. But the glitter still floats up.

[@glittergoldandglam]

@ I’m not really sure. My glitter was from bulk glitter. I wonder if the dollar store stuff is lighter in weight?

[@DuhMenaceDennis-t4k]
