UPDATE: I moved this Mario into a clear jar so I could see him better, I still feel a Recycled jar would be fine, but for the subject matter in this 'able I feel the clear jar is better.

Step 3: Prepare the Jar
I would suggest finding a clear jar with out any writing on the jar or imbedded into the jar. (I sadly did not have a clear jar, I had to pull one out of the trash...recycling is our friend)
Take glitter and put some inside the bottom of the bottle

Step 4: Oil
Add Baby oil into the jar. Do not fill it the entire way. You are going to want to try out your lid with Mario first. (Basically you have to figure out how much space is going to be displaced in your jar from the figure)
Step 5: Mario
Drop Mario into the jar and see how much more oil you can add. Slowly pour more oil inside the jar. Drop in your star (because the star is fun) Do leave an inch to a 1/2 inch of space in the jar so you can easily shake around the materials.
Step 6: Glue It!
Put E-6000 all around the top of the jar, this will help seal it in place.
Step 7: Screw on the Lid
Put the lid on and screw it down tightly. Let it sit and dry. Once the glue has dried, flip over the jar, and tada you have a "snow" globe! I went ahead and put a bead of E6000 around the outside of the lid for extra security.
Again I would suggest a completely clear jar, I may change Mario out eventually and put him in a clear jar or create another one. This is what I had around the house that I was about to toss out, I love making trash into treasure!
