Description
A delightful DIY project that combines science and art, creating a visually stunning rainbow jar that glows in the dark.
Ingredients
- Clear glass or plastic jar with a lid
- Water
- Clear corn syrup or glycerin
- Food coloring (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple)
- Small flashlight or blacklight
- Small spoon or stir stick
- Funnel (optional)
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix equal parts clear corn syrup (or glycerin) and water.
- Pour the mixture into separate small containers—one for each color.
- Add a few drops of different food coloring to each container (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple) and stir well.
- Using a funnel, pour the mixtures into the jar one at a time, starting with the densest liquid.
- Pour slowly along the side of the jar to avoid mixing and continue layering carefully until all colors are added.
- Seal the lid onto the jar.
- In a darkened room, shine a small flashlight or blacklight onto the jar to see the glowing effect!
Notes
Experiment with different colors, textures, and layer thickness for varied effects. Adding glitter or glow-in-the-dark stars can enhance the visual appeal.
