Fitting the Globe to the Base Properly:
The globes will only fit properly if the shallow side of the base without the removable stopper is facing upward. This is the side on which the clay should be built. This detail can be found in your instructions: "Place the base on your work station with the shallow side facing up. This is the side you will decorate. Do not decorate the side with the removable stopper."
Dry Time:
The Make Your Own Water Globes craft kits feature non-drying clay. When adding the included figurines to your water globe, apply clay to the bottom of each figurine to adhere them securely to the base clay. After arranging everything, turn the base over and give it a firm shake to make sure everything is firmly secure. Then, press the top of the globe onto the base; it should fit snugly.
Please note: Our instructions have been updated, removing the need for craft glue and any drying time. There is no longer a need to use glue to secure the figurines or wait for them to dry. Thank you for your patience as we continue to update this information.
