To make Snow Globe Valentines you'll need: -glass baby food jars -2" styrofoam balls -pipe cleaners -glitter (we used Martha Stewart Crafts Tinsel Glitter) -glycerin -serrated knife -hot glue gun + hot glue sticks -spray paint (for the baby food jar lids) Start by painting the lids of your baby food jars.
