Snowglobe repair help

[scrappintlc]

I bought my son a snowglobe for Christmas 2009 and some of the water has since evaporated.

Does anyone know what I use to refill it? I know not to use regular water cause of the cloudiness and the water gets icky so do I use a contact saline solution or salt water?

TIA

you might want to try distilled water....it doesn't have any minerals in it so it should stay nice and clear.

Oh great...that was what I was thinking when I wrote salt water. LOL *slaps forehead*

Thank you.

When I made snowglobes for my daughter's preschool class (out of babyfood jars) I used a mixture of distilled water and glycerin. the glycerine makes the water thicker so the "snow" falls slower. HTH

ohh thats awesome. Thanks so much. Now dumb question I know but where would I find glycerin?

At your local drugstore...

You may also find it in the supermarket bakery section- its added to icing to make it softer.
