Frequently Asked Questions

Can I Use Shredded White Paper Instead of Epsom Salt for Fake Snow?

How Do I Prevent the Epsom Salt From Spilling Out of the Bowl?

"I'm all about spill containment! To prevent Epsom salt spills, I use a thin layer of clear glue or hot glue around the bowl's rim, creating a sealant option that keeps the fake snow contained and my snow globe craft tidy!"

Can I Use a Different Shape Instead of a Circle for the Snowy Scene?

"I'm breaking free from the circle mold! I'd love to explore unique silhouettes and geometric shapes for the snowy scene, like a hexagon or triangle, to add an edgy twist to my winter wonderland creation."

Are There Any Alternatives to Hot Glue for Assembling the Snow Globe?

"I'm stuck on glue - literally! For a hot glue alternative, I'd try a strong craft adhesive or explore bonding techniques like decoupage medium or epoxy resin for a more durable hold in my snow globe project."
