Test position your cubes and bear (or whatever item you'll be using) by taping them onto the lid of your jar to make sure the jar will fit down over them. Just roll up the tape and stick it underneath your object to hold it in place.

Once you know the jar will fit properly over the item(s), glue them in place on the lid and let dry overnight.

The next day, fill your jar almost to the top with distilled water. Add one teaspoon of coarse glitter and one teaspoon of tinsel glitter. You can add more later if you like a lot of snow in your snow globe.

Next add a few drops of glycerin. Start with three and see how that works. You don't want to add too much because it can stick to the bottom and the glitter will stick to it. I used 3 fat drops for my 7 oz size snow globe.

Using a spoon, gently mix the glitter and glycerin through the water.

Next, screw the lid down onto the jar and turn it over to see how it looks. This is the time to decide if you want more glitter or another drop of glycerin, depending on how slowly the glitter falls/stays aloft.

Once you're satisfied with how your snow globe looks, unscrew the lid and add glue around the inside edge so the lid will be well sealed once you put the lid back on and it dries.

After your globe dries overnight, leave it on a surface that won't be damaged by water for a few days, just to make sure it isn't leaking.

Enjoy your snow globe!
