What are snow flakes made of?

Answer 1

there are a lot of different items that are used to represent "snow" in a snow globe.

Old-fashioned globes, and artisan globes today, often used crushed real egg shells to represent snow. If you are making your own, be sure to rinse the shells well in a strainer to get the "dust" off after crushing, so you don't fog up the liquid.

Globes made commercially also use plastic composite material designed to float slowly in the snow globe liquid. Some snow globes use types of glitter and/or mylar confetti instead of "snow."

The mylar confetti -- when used -- must be tested to be sure it is color-safe in liquid, or it will tint over time. This is why white, silver and some gold confetti and sparkles are the most common as they have less color tint and will stay the original color in the liquid.
