Instructions
- Prepare Your Jar: Start with a clean, dry jar. Remove any labels to ensure a smooth surface.
- Color the Water: In a bowl, mix water with your chosen food coloring, creating a vibrant liquid. Use a spoon to stir until well combined.
- Layer the Cotton: Begin layering cotton balls into the bottom of the jar. Use your fingers to fluff them out for a realistic cloud-like appearance.
