Watch How Easy These Are To Make:

HOW-TO:

• Gather your supplies and choose a photo for your globes, I printed these using my new Canon PIXMA TS9521C Crafting Printer.
• Your photo needs to be smaller than your globe and skinny enough to glue to the base, I used Canon Photo Paper Plus Glossy sheets in 4×6.
• Cut yourself out of the photo to fit inside the globe.
• Place the cut photo inside a laminating pouch and laminate.
• Cut the excess laminate off the photo with 1/8″ border. Don’t break the seal, or else your photo will get wet!
• Open your globe, there are two parts: the base that you glue items to and the screw lid.
• Add a tablespoon of Glycerine to the globe and then fill the rest with water. The glycerine helps suspend the glitter in the water, totally optional.
• Add glitter! Use different sizes and colors.
• Push the base on the globe and shake to make sure you’re happy with the glitter. If not add more, or pour it out and start over.
• Remove the base and wipe clean, set the globe on top of a cup and off to the side.
• Hot glue your items and photo to the base. Use a lot of glue to really secure and hold the items in place until the glue fully cools/dries.
• Push the base into the globe.
• Add a line of E6000 glue to the entire inside rim of the screw lid. Then screw it on the globe.
• Let it dry for 24 hours, upside down resting on a cup.
• Glue or tie some ribbon or trim to the bottom of the globe.
• Shake and enjoy!
