This water globe is fun and easy to assemble. Just create a design of your own out of any water resistant material (polymer clay is a perfect material for this purpose), then glue it to the rubber gasket provided. Fill the globe with pure water, add the floating bits and one drop of low-sudsing detergent to break the surface tension of the water so the bits will float properly. Work the rubber gasket into the neck of the globe and seal around the edge with silicone glue. Apply the base and you are finished. This globe makes a terrific personalized gift or a special way of making a statement. The globe measures 6 inches in diameter and the neck opening is 3-13/16 inches. When fully assembled to its base it stands 7-1/4 inches tall. For hundreds more craft, art and hobby products be sure to visit our National Artcraft Storefront.
