- Опубликовано: 16 дек 2020
- In this video we show you the snow globe repair tool kit that we put together and give you an explanation of the individual items in the kit. We put this kit together primarily from items we found in local stores.
The kit includes the following items:
- Hair Dryer (Loosen hot glue that attaches the cover and the globe, dry excess water)
- Heat resistant gloves (Protects your hands from hair dryer. * See link below )
- Hot Glue Gun (Seal globe, attach cover, attach globe)
- Hot Glue Sticks
- Razor knife
- Phillips head and flat tip screw driver
- Long thin flat tip screw driver (Helps when removing stopper and filling globe)
- Small and large needle nose pliers (Helps to remove the stopper)
- Measuring spoons
- Scissors
- Krazy glue (For reattaching figuring, fixing broken figurine and base)
- Marinade Injector (Fill globe and fix air bubble - Found at Bed, Bath, & Beyond)
- Glitter Assortment (Found at Michael's)
- Water (We use filtered, you can use distilled. We add a couple of tablespoons of alcohol to eliminate any bacteria and algae)
- Clear Elmer's Glue (Adding this to the water makes it thicker so the glitter and snow fall slowly. You can also use Glycerine which can be found in the baking section of craft stores or online)
* Heat Resistant Gloves Found on Amazon: www.amazon.com/dp/B08CWQS2WB/...

I never would have thought of the syringe to remove the bubble. That's so helpful. Another great video. Thanks!
The syringe works fine but these days we use the submersion method. The submersion method is quicker and easier. You hold the snow globe upside down in a bucket of water. While the globe is under the water you pull back on the stopper. The bubble with float out of the globe and be replaced with water in the bucket. Check out Episode 201 for a recent example. Currently we use the syringe to remove the air bubble if we feel that the water may damage the base, such as a wooden base.
Just happened upon your account as I’m a snow globe fan. I have to do some repairs to my old Christmas ones and so very appreciative of your guidance and tips. I will admit I’m a bit nervous of having a go but just found video no. 3 to see what you use before I go ahead myself. Many thanks in advance.
No problem. We are happy that our videos are helpful. You may want to go through our Snow Globe Repair video playlist which contains all of our repair videos. You can flip through the thumbnails and see if any of the globes pictured are similar to your and then check out the video to see how we fixed it. Good luck.

Thank you! Your videos and research are helping me repair a Fontanini Glitterdome Christmas snowglobe. You mention cleaning and saving snow and glitter from original water, but I haven't found the way you do that. I was hoping to re-use the original glitter, but it is very small/fine.
Hi. We are happy that our videos are helping you. There are two methods for recovering snow/glitter. The first is to use a strainer, however, the strainer needs to have a fine mesh or you may lose the glitter or fine snow. The strainer works better for large chunky snow. The method we use is dilution. We pour the globe water into a clear glass container, such as a large measuring cup. Fill with clean water, as the majority of the snow/glitter sinks to the bottom slowly pour the water out stopping before the snow/glitter get to the edge of the container. Repeat with more clean water until the water and the snow/glitter are clean. Check out Episode 151 for an example.
@@snowgloberescue8887 So helpful, thank you!
Thank you!! I had to repair 3 globes and this imformation was great!
That's great! We are happy that we could help.
I really love that red snow globe with a train
Yes, the trains are popular!
Great video, thanks for the tips, very helpful, I need to repair two of those with high sentimental value, if need more help I will contact you. Thanks again
That's great! We have many videos on our channel covering many different types of snow globes repairs. There are a couple of our videos that you may also find helpful. In Episode 19 we found snow globe snow online. It is hard to find the right stuff if you need to replace or customize and add snow to your globe. When we repair globes we occasionally have to replace the glitter or snow. In many cases we use different glitter or change the glitter to snow and customize the globe. You also have the option of buying an inexpensive used globe at the thrift store and taking it apart to get the snow. Another video you may be interested in is Episode 32 where we show you the options you have for the liquid in the snow globe. We compare glue, to glycerine, to baby oil, and plain water. The clear glue option works best for us. Of course we will do our best to answer any questions you may have. Good luck and thank you for taking the time to provide that feedback!
Saw you have a Norman Rockwell globe. I have three that need repair and would appreciagte tips on how to remove base without damaging the "leather" documentation on bottom of base. Thanks for great videos.
We appreciate the feedback on the videos. Thank you. For solid base snow globes our preferred method for disassembly is the boiling water method. Place the snow globe in a plastic bag, make sure there are no holes, this will protect the base from the water. Place the bagged snow globe into a pot or some other container and pour boiling water until it reaches the top of the base. Keep the glass globe out of the hot water. It takes anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes to get enough heat to penetrate the base and melt the hot glue holding the globe in. We check the globe every 10 minutes to see if it is loose. We boil fresh water if it is not loose and give it another 10 minutes. The other alternative that we use is a hair dryer. Heat the base with a hair dryer, turning the globe to get the base evenly heated. Eventually you will heat it enough that the glue will release. The hair dryer could take longer and require your constant attention. With the hot water method you can let it do its thing. You may be interested in Episodes 201 and 195 as a couple of examples of this method. You can search the channel for "Solid Base" and see more. Good luck!

Hi, you are both very thoughtful and careful. I am very impressed. Do you have recommendation to change the water on a vintage glass bottom snow globe?
Hi Wendy. Thanks for the comment!
I have never heard of a glass bottom snow globe. Are you saying that the base is made of glass? We may have some advice once we understand what you are working with. Possibly email us a picture if that helps. I'm going to provide a link to our playlist of all the snow globes we have repaired since we started the channel, may be you will see something there that helps: ruclips.net/p/PL2nI60LLgsOzFUEwNoQz4odEeCL01jpHF
very helpful! What do you use to clean the globe and figures? soap? alcohol? window cleaner?
Thanks Bill. We appreciate the feedback. We use dish soap and a soft brush. Many times the figurines just rinse off with plain water. In some cases where there is an air bubble and the globe has sat for a long time there may be a hard calcification at the top inside of the globe. We let that soak in CLR or Lime Away to dissolve it. Hope that helps.
What is the snow used inside snow globes? The little pebble like snow that falls slowly, not the glitter?
The snow used in modern snow globes are chips of plastic. You can check out Episode 19 and see the two types of snow globe snow that we purchased online. One worked perfectly and the other not at all.
You mentioned in a different video about adding alcohol to the water to kill bacteria. How much per gallon do you add. So happy to find your site. I've been looking to fix my rose water globes for years. Thank you in advance.
Hi. We're happy that you like the videos and thank you for the feedback. We use 1 tablespoon of alcohol to one gallon of filtered water. Most people use distilled water but we fix a lot of globes so we use filtered water and it has worked fine so far. Hope that helps.
I have so many questions, haha! I’ve now repaired/filled air bubbles for 5 of my more than 30 snow globes. I didn’t let them sit very long before doing the submersion method to remove the air bubble and I noticed within 24 hours, little bubbles started to appear around the figure and now I have the smallest air bubble on those same 5 that I previously thought I completely removed it. So I guess, how long do you let the figure rest before fully removing the bubble and reassembling the globe? I wonder since I’m using distilled water if that would have anything to do with it or if my ratio of water to alcohol is slightly off - I may be doing some experimenting. I’ve been trying to find a large single hole syringe and haven’t been able to find one - could you link the one you have or advise where I could find one?
We have the same problem with the air bubbles sometimes. We don't always let the globe sit long enough before trying to remove the air bubble. Sometimes when we pour the liquid in or stir the liquid after we add the glitter, tiny bubbles start circulating around the globe and since we add the glue to the water to thicken it the bubbles rise and collect slowly. Sometimes the bubbles are so small that they are hard to see. So let the globe sit for as long as possible before air bubble removal. We also get small air bubbles that cling to the figurine and don't let go until later on. We tap the globe gently before removing the air bubble to knock some of those little bubbles loose. The professionals have vacuum chambers and vibration tables to help get the air bubbles out. We have to get creative. The type of water and the ratio of alcohol should not be a factor.
We purchased that single hole syringe at Bed, Bath, And Beyond. We found one on Amazon that has multiple tips needles and one of them is a single hole. Here is the link:
www.amazon.com/Injector-TGE-V-Marinade-Stainless-Replacement/dp/B07V4LR7HZ/ref=sr_1_3_sspa?crid=2PNVFOX7WBZMA&keywords=marinating%2Bsyringe&qid=1691676381&sprefix=marinating%2Bsyr%2Caps%2C116&sr=8-3-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&th=1
Good luck!
@@snowgloberescue8887 thank you so much!
Hi . Great videos. I was wondering do you know where to purchase the rubber plugs ?
We get all of our replacement rubber plugs from other globes that we disassemble for parts. However you can get new parts online form National Artcraft, snowdomes.com, or The Music Box Company. The links are in the description of this video and all of our other videos. The only thing that we have ever purchased from any of those companies is snow globe snow. You may be able to find a cheap used snow globe of the same size at a thrift store and use the plug from it and save a bunch of money.
What glue should I us to glue one of the all porcelin like figurines that came off the rubber stopper when I removed the rubber stopper from the globe. Would it be clear elmers glue or super glue or hot glue. Thank you.
Currently we use Zap-A-Gap, however, were were using super glue and gorilla glue for a long time and they also work.
Do You have any videos on repairing blower snowglobes My blower is not working 😢 thank you and Happy Holidays!
It depends. It sounds like you are referring to the glitter/snow circulation system. It is normally a spinning impeller at the bottom of the snow globe, however, there are several different types. We have several videos on the channel where we deal with those, with varying degrees of success. I'm trying to remember all of them, however, check out Episode 76 where we repair an Alice In Wonderland snow globe which has a circulation systems. See if it answers any questions.
Thank You I will let You know how it turns out, Cheers!
Where can I find parts to repair snow globes. I can't find motors with fans, or even the plastic plugs.
Hi. We get all of our parts by disassembling other old used snow globes. There are three links in the video description under the "Helpful Links" heading that point to companies that sell snow globe parts. However, we have not been able to find motors or fans. You can get replacement globes with stoppers but not the stoppers themselves. We are still trying to find a supplier that carries all of the parts that we could need. There are also some Chinese companies like Alibaba.com and AliExpress.com that sell snow globe parts. The only company that we have done business with is NationalArtCraft. We bought some snow from them.
I have a Fontanini Nativity Snow Globe my mother-in-law (who I loved dearly) gave me in the early 90's. The water is about half gone, however I see no leak point of origin. I have watched a few of your videos, have the bottom off but do not know if the rubber seal will deteriorate when I remove it. It seems kind of soft and pliable, but have no idea where to find one if it tears or breaks apart. It is a very large globe, the base is about 5 1/2 in across, and unlike other globes it is not round I would almost call it a half round dome. What is your advise? I would be willing to send it to you for repair, or if there was some way to send you pictures... Thank you....
Hi. In our experience most stoppers come out fine. We occasionally have a stopper tear or fall apart but those are usually in globes that are in really bad shape. We have links in the video description to three companies that sell snow globe parts, however, new stoppers come with the purchase of a replacement globe. For some reason they don't sell the stoppers themselves. We haven't found a source for those yet. We get all of our replacement stoppers from other used snow globes that we disassemble for parts. We are currently not in a position to accept outside work but we hope to change that in the near future. You can send us pictures to tespi74@gmail.com. We will do our best to answer your questions. Let us know if you still want someone to repair if for you and we can provide links to some snow globe repair companies.
I have a Costco Christmas snow globe which is about 15 years old. IMPOSSIBLE to remove “Gorilla Glue” type glue. Screws on bottom review intricate gears. What to do now?!! Please advise!!
Send some pictures to tespi74@gmail.com and we will see if we can provide any advice.
I want to touch up some of the paint on the figurine inside my globe. Are there any paints that you recommend? I was also wanting to add mini figurines to the globe. Can I just use super glue to add them or will the water loosen them inside the globe?
We have been using Testor's Model paint for over two years to paint or touch up figurines inside the globe. So far all of then still look good. The Testor's paint holds up to the water. We use Zap-A-Gap to glue figurines to the stopper. It was recommended by National Artcraft, however, we have globes that we repaired over two years ago using super glue and gorilla glue and they are still fine. All three products do well in the water.
@@snowgloberescue8887 Thank you! I really appreciate the reply! I'll try them out :) Have a Happy New Year!
Did the paint on "Santa in his living room " last a long time ?
We repaired that globe a year ago this month and it looks the same as it did the day that we repaired it. The Testors paint held up perfectly so far.
Your videos saved four of my snow globes from the trash. One of them-the same Coca Cola globe you use in your intro-turned dark brown and the snow is permanently stained. I can’t find anything online telling me what to use to replace it, and when I enter “snow globe snow” on Amazon, I get a product recommendation for something that according to the Q and A section floats in water. What do I use for the snow and where do I find it?
We are happy to hear that our videos saved your globes! It just so happens that we recently found another one of those Coca Cola Santa snow globes, repaired it and published the video yesterday. It is Episode 121, we'll send a link. The one in our intro was repaired before we started the channel so we didn't have a video for it until we found this second one. This is your lucky day, we can tell you exactly where you can get snow globe snow. We had the same problem as you. We found some online businesses that sell snow globe parts and accessories, including snow. Check out Episode 19 where we compare the snow globe snow from Amazon to the correct snow globe snow which we got from National Artcraft.com. We include the links in all of our video descriptions. We'll send a link to that as well. Here is another tip; you can buy an inexpensive snow globe at the thrift store, or flea market, or garage sale and disassemble it and reused the snow from that globe to fix yours. We get all of our spare snow globe parts repairs this way. We find used snow globes all the time for under $5.00. One last recommendation; Episode 32 where we compare the four options you have for the liquid in your snow globe. We'll send a link to that one as well. And of course if look through the channel you will see almost 100 repair videos covering many different types of globes. We're sure you will be successful. Thank for watching.

@@snowgloberescue8887 Thank you so much!
Any suggestions for how to remove a globe with a solid base that won't loosen after placed in hot water or heated with a hair dryer? Any help would be much appreciated.
That has only happened to us twice. If it is assembled with something other than hot glue the only way we found to fix it is to break the globe and use a screw driver and a hammer or something similar to remove the pieces of glass bonded to the base. Then we find another snow globe at a thrift store that has the same size globe. We disassemble that and use the globe to fix the first one, this time using hot glue. I hope that helps.
What do you use to separate the snow from old water?
We have shown this in several recent videos, I will try to find one and send you the link so you can see. We plan to make a video just on that, however, our technique to clean or separate the snow from the old water is to pour the snow globe contents into a large measuring cup or some other large clear container. It does not need to hold more that a quart of water or so. When all of the snow sinks to the bottom you then slowly pour the water out and stop before any snow pours out. You then fill with fresh water, mix, and then let settle and pour out the water again. Keep doing this until the snow and water are clean and clear. You can use a strainer as well but you have to make sure that it has a fine mesh otherwise you may lose some snow. I found a video: Check out Episode 151. We show the snow cleaning/recovery process starting around the 3:30 point.
Have you ever repaired any Ever lasting Rose Globes? I have 2 my husband gave me and the water is turning black. Any ideas on how to fix?
Hi Katherine. I'm not sure if it is the same thing but we have a video where we fix a globe that has a real preserved rose in it. Check it out, it may be what you are looking for: Ep. 25 - "Valentine's Rose" Snow Globe Repair (ruclips.net/video/Q6tzHHxbjCs/видео.html). Let us know if that is it.
What’s good to use to fix a figures arm on the outside of the globe. It’s a Toy Story big snowglobe I need to fix.
Hi. I provided a more detailed reply to your comment on the Snowball Fight video but we use Zap-A-Gap.
Please link and list in the description.
That is a good idea. I didn't think to do that. I'll update the description. Thanks for the feedback!
What percentage alcohol do you use for the water mixture?
We were never able to find a definitive amount of alcohol to add to the water. Every source that we found stated to add a few drops to the globe water. We went ahead and settled on two tablespoons of alcohol per gallon of water. We have snow globes that were repaired two years ago and still look fine so that amount seems to work. Extra alcohol will help prevent freezing if you live in a place that gets below freezing.
@@snowgloberescue8887 thank you so much. Your videos have been a big help
I want to order glass for my globe. From where i can order ?
Hi. There are links to several companies listed in the video description that sell snow globe parts. However, we have never purchased any replacement globes. We find old used snow globes with the same size glass and disassemble them for parts. However, if you can't find an old parts globe one of the companies listed should be able to help.
Hi I have a few antique gloves that I need repaired how can we work together?
Hi. We are not able to offer repair services at this time. We hope to change that in the future. For now we hope that the videos help people understand how to repair their own snow globes and we are always here to answer any questions.
Have you repaired a San Francisco Music Box Company globe? I am just asking in case they use a different glue or something like that?
Hi! Yes we have repaired several San Francisco Music Box Company globes. They are constructed the same as most other globes. We use the same procedure as all other globes. We actually have several videos where we fix San Francisco Music Box Company snow globes. In fact the most recent two videos we have posted are from that company, Ep. 30 and Ep. 31.
@@snowgloberescue8887 Great, thank you!!!
What do you do if you don't have a hot glue gun? I have everything else I'll need aside from that, well im also lacking in Krazy glue too (I have some generic super glue though)
I just received a heart shaped snowglobe and wasn't expecting it to come yellowed so this was somewhat of a sudden thing
The hot glue is actually optional. Some snow globe have it and some don't. If you watch some of our repair videos you will see that it is used to seal the stopper and reattach the cover. A lot of snow globes do not seal the stopper and they work fine. If your snow globe is not missing any water then the stopper may work fine on its own. We use it to add an extra layer to help prevent leaks. If the globe is missing water then it may leak out again but if it is not sealed you can easily refill it. You can use a few drops of regular glue like Elmer's to hold the cover on. Don't use super glue since you may need to take it apart again at some point.
@@snowgloberescue8887 it seems mine doesn't leak so I think it's good, however once I managed to get the figurine out and scrub it the paint started coming off so I had to stop and couldn't fully get the brown stuff off, I'm assuming the rubbing alcohol will kill whatever I wasn't able to get off?
@@xbabybluex Rubbing alcohol should work. If you plan to repaint the figurine where the paint came off, we use Testors model paint. You can see an example in Episode 17 where we had to repaint most of a figurine after the paint peeled off. It has been almost two years and the paint still looks good.
If the ornament for the globe is painted, what kind of paint is best to touch it up?
The only paint we ever use is the Testors model paint. It holds up well in water and outside of the globe as well.
@@snowgloberescue8887 Thank you!
Hey Tony. I need to make Mickey a new nose. What can I use that will not melt in the water?
You can use epoxy putty. We have a couple of examples but a good one is Episode 85 - Disney's The Lion King the Musical snow globe repair. We created a new head for one of the characters on the base, however, once the epoxy putty cures it is like stone and can be used in the water as well. Another option that we know about but have not used yet is polymer clay. You can get it at the craft store. Once you create the replacement piece you bake it in the oven where it turns hard as a rock. You can use this in the water as well. The polymer clay sounds like a better choice because you have all the time you need to work with it as it doesn't harden until you bake it.
@@snowgloberescue8887 thanks so much. I’ll give that a try. This snow globe is going to be the death of me.
Where can I find replacement glass bulb and seal for large snow globe?
All of our replacement parts come from other used snow globes. When we need a new glass globe or a stopper we look for a used snow globes of the same size. We normally find used globes for under $5.00 at the thrift store. We disassemble them and use the parts to fix other globes. It is much less expensive than buying a new replacement globe. However, we include links in the description of most of our videos to some online resources for snow globe parts and accessories. We will send you the links. You may be able to find what you need there. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching!

I used a purple glitter and it made my water pink, do you know what kind of glitter i should use or at least stay away from. it took me 4 tries to do. it right and then the glitter :(
Hi. We had that happen to us once as well. Check out Episode 154. We used red heart confetti glitter in some of the Valentines Day globe we fixed. A few days later the water turned pink. We did an experiment, I'm trying to remember, but I believe it was the clear glue in the water that caused the confetti dye to run. We normally use the Recollections line of glitter that you can get at Micheal's craft store or on Amazon. We have never had a problem with the brand.
Why do snow globes get gross to begin with? My daughter has one she loves which was mine from 2002, and it has nasty floating looks like dust bunnies in it. Any idea how that would have happened?
Hi and thanks for the comment. From our experience and research, snow globes may have one or more substances added to the water, such as glycerine, glue, alcohol, and in many cases antifreeze to keep them from freezing in cold climates. I believe in many cases that those brown dust bunnies are the plastic snow that has decomposed due to something added to the water. Also, we have seen where the water also causes the figure or stopper to deteriorate. Alcohol is added to the water to inhibit the growth of mildew and bacteria. The dust bunnies may be result of nothing the water to prevent them. Here are a couple of links to videos that you may find helpful:
Ep. 29 Bird House Snow Globe ruclips.net/video/rSucyQTvCU0/видео.html where we have what sound like the dust bunnies you describe.

What broke?

@@smee9776 That is not a problem. That has happened to us. Find a used snow globe at the thrift store that has the same size glass globe. Disassemble it by using the hair dryer to melt the hot glue that holds the globe to the base and remove the globe. Use that globe to replace the broken one. We find used snow globes at the thrift store all the time, anywhere from $1 to $5, much less than ordering a new glass globe online. We have several videos where we replace broken globes.

Hi I was just wondering 🙏🙏🙏if anyone knows which paint I can use inside the snow globe figure? I have a monsters ink snow globe that the figurine paint pealed off so I need to paint it but I am not sure which paint I can use! So then I have been researching it on the internet and everyone teaches how make a snow globe but they always buy the figures ready or plastic or polymer clay! Then I went to Google and put which paint can I use to paint inside my snow globe then all videos is of a woman painting a snow globe on canvas!!! ! 🤬😂👍
Hi. We use the Testors model paint that comes in the tiny bottles. We get them at the hardware store. They are enamel based paint. We have painted several figurines with it and have had no issues. We have a couple of videos where we show the process. There is Episode 110 where the paint came off from the back of the figurine and we repainted it. There is also Episode 17 were we had to repaint a significant portion of a large figurine. We did that one almost a year ago and the paint still looks good. We'll send links to those in a separate reply. Hope that help!

@@DeboraDavies You are welcome. Testors paint is enamel. Other types of paint may work as well but I have not used them so I cannot say.
