Teen Craft Idea: Mini Capsule Toy Snow Globes

When I was a kid I loved those 25 cent capsule toy machines at the supermarket. They were usually used as a negotiating device for me to behave on shopping trips. As I grew older and got into Japanese pop culture I discovered the awesomeness that is gachapon, highly detailed and collectible Japanese capsule toys (which make great giveaway gifts by the way).  When I found these mini snow globes made out of mini capsule toys on Instructables, I shivered with nostalgic excitement. What a neat project for teens-- super cheap, super kitch, super cute! To make your own mini snow globe Instructables member Amby-chan suggests the following materials:


* Some toy capsules
* The trinkets that came in the capsules
* Hot glue gun (with the glue sticks)
* Water
* Dry erase marker
* White/Clear glitter (optional)
