🐭👑 DIY Nutcracker Snow Globe 🎄 | Polymer Clay Sculpture

Hello friends ☁️
With the holidays approaching I've been super inspired by the Nutcracker ballet to create this snow globe featuring the king mouse (or rat depending which production you watch 😋). It was such a challenge putting this together but I'm so happy that I took the risk to make this work! Enjoy and happy early holidays 💛
Best,

Can you use air dry clay for this? I want to make one for my cousin

[@LightofDawn7]

Probably not, unless you have a super good way to waterproof the air dry clay. Since water and other liquidy substances usually reactivate the air dry clay. Polymer clay hardens to a more plastic like finish once it's baked

[@marsssizle]

Beautiful globe! Do you mind specifying what was the first glitter you used for the snow? The one that's all-white, flakey, and doesn''t look like glitter? I want to use something that looks like snow, not glitter, and that would be perfect!

[@lauriebonfanti3018]

Absolutely amazing! How did you seal it to keep the water in inside?

I think you put glycerin in the liquid of the globe, do you need to varnish the clay figures?

[@ValerieWaiStudios]

I actually put clear Elmer's glue inside! :) there is no need to varnish the clay figures.

[@alexaperfect9994]

​@@ValerieWaiStudiosoops, didnt notice it. Thanks!

[@Thegothiccpixie]

Hi! This might be a stupid question but do you have to bake the clay figures before you put them in the globe?

[@michelleozawa7173]

If you’re using any kind of polymer clay, you will have to bake it. You’ll want to follow any instructions on how to bake, cure, or dry your pieces written on the packaging :)
