Ingredients
Scale
- Clear jar with a lid (e.g., glass or plastic)
- 1 cup of water
- 2 tablespoons of clear glue or glycerin
- Glitter (fine or chunky)
- Optional: food coloring or essential oils
- Mixing stick or spoon
Instructions
- Prepare the Jar: Choose a clean, dry jar that can hold at least 16 oz of liquid. Ensure it has a tight lid to prevent spills.
- Mix the Liquid Base: In a bowl, combine 1 cup of water with 2 tablespoons of clear glue or glycerin. Stir well until the mixture is blended thoroughly.
- Add Color and Glitter: Add a few drops of food coloring if you want to tint the liquid. Pour in 1-2 tablespoons of glitter for that magical effect. Mix until the glitter is evenly distributed.
- Fill the Jar: Carefully pour the glittery mixture into your jar, leaving some space at the top. Add more water if needed to fill it up to the rim.
- Seal the Jar: Secure the lid tightly to ensure no leaks. You may want to use glue around the lid for extra security.
- Shake and Enjoy: Shake the jar to see the glitter swirl and settle. Use it as a calming tool whenever needed—simply watch the glitter fall and focus on your breathing.
Notes
