Description

Create a vibrant and functional Galaxy Ocean Jar that beautifully organizes small items while adding artistic flair to your home.


Materials

  • A clear jar with a lid (like a mason jar)
  • Blue and green food coloring
  • Vegetable oil
  • Water
  • Glitter (optional)
  • Small items for organizing (e.g., beads, buttons)


Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Jar: Clean and dry the jar, removing any labels.
  2. Create the Ocean Base: Mix water with blue and green food coloring until desired shade, then pour into the jar, filling it about 1/3 full.
  3. Add Oil: Slowly pour vegetable oil into the jar until nearly full, allowing it to float on top of the water.
  4. Incorporate Glitter: If using, sprinkle glitter on the oil layer to represent shimmering waves.
  5. Add Small Items: Place organizing items into the jar as desired.
  6. Seal the Jar: Close the lid securely to keep contents in place.

Notes

Use a funnel to minimize spills, experiment with colors, and ensure small items are safe for children.
