Choose a photograph for the project. You may need to resize the photo to fit inside the jar you plan to use. Crop along the edges of the people in the photo to make them more of a silhouette.
You will need to laminate your image if you want to use water in the snow globe. You can use a rolling machine; if you don't have one, most print shops can laminate it for you.
Make sure the edges of the photo are well laminated. This is important so you don't break the seal around the edge of the photo.
If you want your snow globe to have a background, laminate a postcard so it stays inside as a background.
