Mason Nebula Jar
This colorful DIY project is fun for kids and adults alike, and doubles as a calming sensory bottle: great for kids who need a little extra sensory support. Use non-toxic supplies so the whole family can make one worry-free, and lay down some newspaper for easy cleanup.
Supplies:
- A clean glass jar with a lid
- Tempera paints (at least two colors)
- Cotton balls
- Fine glitter
- Water
How to make it:
- Fill about a third of the Mason jar with water.
- Add several drops of paint.
- Put the lid back on and shake to mix.
- Add about 1 tsp of fine glitter.
- Stretch out a handful of cotton balls to elongate them.
- Add the stretched cotton balls until the bottom third of the jar is filled.
- Repeat steps 1 to 6 with a different paint color for the next layer.
- Seal the lid and enjoy your Mason Nebula Jar.
Make it a lasting keepsake: Swap the standard lid for a reCAP FLIP Lid so it seals tight for shaking and display, with no risk of a sticky spill.
