Yes, it will always float. You need to shake it up. But it will eventually settle and the glitter will float. I just made a snowflake with my granddaughter. I wonder what would happen if only glycerin was used , w/o water ?????

You can also try mixing the water up to 50% with mineral oil (the stuff found in the laxative aisle is thinner than "baby oil"). So mix the liquid in the globe 50/50 water to glycerin.
Also, plastic floats so if using plastic glitter, don't use the largest particles, or anything that might contain even a bit of air.
