How much glycerin do I add to water for a snow globe tumbler?
One cup of water, three teaspoons of glycerin, and three teaspoons of glitter are a good ratio. Olive oil, vegetable oil, and baby oil can all be substituted with glycerin. The glitter will fall more slowly if more oil is added. Place a drop of glue on the jar’s lid and secure it in place.
