Transcript: How to Make a Snow Globe
with Lisa Jo Rudy
Hi, I'm Lisa Jo Rudy for About.com, parenting, and today my daughter and I will show you how to make a simple snow globe.
Snow Globe Supplies 原材料
For this project, you will need:
an empty glass or plastic jar with a tight lid. An ordinary jelly jar is fine; we bought this one for $2 at a craft store. 一个有密封盖子的玻璃或塑料空瓶
a good-sized lump of plasticine, that's ordinary children's modeling clay 一大团橡皮泥，这里准备的就是一般孩子们塑形用的粘土
a plastic toy to go inside the snow globe 放在雪景球中观赏用的塑料玩具
the shells from one or two eggs 1-2个鸡蛋壳
a kitchen mallet 锤子
a pitcher of water 一杯水
Create the Base of the Snow Globe 制作雪景球的底座
Start with a ball of clay. Flatten it into a circle about 1/2-inch thick. Press the circle of clay into the lid of your jar. Be sure it sticks.
Press the bottom of your plastic toy into the circle of clay. Be sure it's secure.
Crush the Eggshells 压碎蛋壳
Crush your eggshells with a kitchen mallet or similar tool. When you're done, they should be crushed to the size of large snowflakes.
Combine the Water and Eggshells 混合蛋壳和水
Pour the eggshells into the glass jar. Then, pour water into the jar; fill it to within half an inch of the top.
Put the lid on the jar. Your plastic toy will be upside down, hanging from the lid.
Seal the Snow Globe with Clay 用粘土密封雪景球
Roll the remaining clay so that you have a long, thin rope of clay. Wrap the rope of clay around the top of the jar where the lid meets the glass. Press the clay down firmly to form a water-tight seal.
Flip the jar upside down so that it is sitting on its lid. You've made a snow globe!
