How fun is this - you get to create your very own custom water globe from scratch! The kit comes with a clear glass dome that's 6 inches in diameter, an unfinished birch wood base that you can paint or decorate however you want, a rubber gasket to seal everything up, and drifting snow flakes to create that magical snowfall effect. When fully assembled, it stands about 7.25 inches tall with plenty of space inside (5 inches from gasket to top) for your creations. The neck opening is about 3-13/16 inches wide, giving you good access to arrange your scene. Illustrated instructions walk you through the process, but really, you can let your creativity run wild with this. Imagine creating a globe with tiny family photos, holiday scenes, wedding mementos, or anything else meaningful to you. This makes such a unique and personal gift - way more special than something store-bought because you put the love into making it. National Artcraft has been supplying quality craft parts for ages, and they offer different sizes if this one isn't quite right for your project. Whether you're an experienced crafter or just looking for a fun weekend project, creating your own snow globe is surprisingly satisfying and the results are absolutely magical!
