I am wanting to make one of these. But I want the inside scene to be permanent. Not sure how to attach everything? I thought about glueing foam disks to the botom of the bowl. Then glueing pieces to foam. Not sure that would work either.

Glass bowl snowman
where was the original post,the instructions should be there
Hello Connie! According to what I’ve found online, it appears that using a hot glue gun to secure your “permanent” scenes in each fishbowl should do the trick:

Hi Connie, Here's a how to video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JBWRzBCdkI
I would get foam balls sized slightly smaller than each bowl so there's a little room all around the foam. Cut the foam in half and use a hot glue gun to secure it to the bottom of each bowl. After you hot glue your scene to the foam, sprinkle the fluffy snow to fill in around the sides of foam and fill in around your scenes. Be generous with hour hot glue.
Hope this helps!
I would build up the bottom with layers of cardboard, making sure that the snow will cover all the sides and the top, on but before you pour the snow on the very top, glue your pieces onto the cardboard and then just put enough snow to cover the top layer of cardboard. Use transparent E6000 glue, as this glue should hold everything in place permanently. Note that E6000 takes a good long while to dry so, if you follow this advice, you'll have to glue the pieces in steps allowing at least minimum drying time.It looks to be a very cute project. Have fun with it.
