Hello, my daughter has given me a new Chrisha Creations snowglobe, as she has moved and now has no room for it. She never used it, and has lost the box and any instructions.
Anyway, I set it up in the living room and the "snow" won't go up the tubes provided for it, except while the globe is still inflating, or if I open an access zipper on the back of the globe.
Also I am wondering what to do with the two alligator clips that come out the bottom of it?
I have noticed that even a slight mount of dampness will prevent a snow globe from snowing. Set it up in a temperature controlled space (like a garage), and let it run for 24 hours or so.
Allowing the fan to run dries out the snow. If dampness was the problem, it will start snowing on its own.
I believe that scott isaacs is correct about the alligator clips being used to drain off static because the wires are connected to some metal pieces in the plastic tubes that are supposed to pick up the snow.
The snow seems dry to me, and it is blowing around in the bottom of the snowglobe, but it won't get s***ed up into the tubes. I'll look at the tubes better to make sure that they aren't kinked.
I've been letting it run in the living room for the past few hours, but still no snow. It did manage to twist off the thin line that holds the penguins up though! You'd think that with a swivel at the top and bottom of the line, that couldn't happen.

If the snow is just blowing around in the globe you may have holes in the seams inside the bottom of your globe. We have an 8' globe that worked fine for a year.... after last season, when we set it up to dry it out, we found 3 holes in seams inside the bottome of the globe. My daughter took a piece of thread and a needle and sewed them up. After that, the globe began working correctly.
It worked for me....
