You can buy snow globes on a wholesale basis and resell them, however you have the choice of making snow globes on your own, if you have the creativity and the patience to do so. It is not that hard to make a snow globe. First, you will need a jelly jar or any little round jar. In fact, any thing that is transparent, clear, and clean will work fine.
Next, you have to create the falling snow, best done with crushed eggshells. Using eggshell from hard-boiled eggs works great. This is because you can remove the thin lining that exists beneath the eggshell. If this lining stays in the eggshell, you will soon have unwanted floaters in the snow globe! Mineral oil provides the best atmosphere for making the snow look like it is falling. This is because mineral oil is thick enough to create the effect of the snow falling slowly, while clear enough to see through it.
You can create your own snow scene or atmosphere by using small objects to be glued on the underside of the lid of the bottle. Choose the smallest objects. The smaller it is the better the effect. It's also best if you use costume jewelry parts or clock parts of old watches. You can create great human and animal shapes using plastic wires shaped as the respective figurines.
Once you have created the snow scene, use some glue to stick the snow scene on to the underside of the jar's lid, add the mineral oil and crushed eggshells and then screw the lid back on again. Invert the bottle, shake it, and you are ready to sell or gift a snow globe! Of course, the main ingredient for a snow globe is imagination. You should expect maximum sales in the month of Christmas. If you are willing to spend more, you can create better snow scenes, and sell the snow globes at better prices.
