DIY GLITTER CALM-DOWN JAR

Materials

  • Mason jar
  • Warm water
  • Glitter glue
  • Food coloring
  • Spoon or stick for stirring

Directions

  1. Fill your mason jar about ¾ full with warm water. Warm water helps the glue mix better.
  2. Add clear glitter glue until the jar is nearly full, about ¼ of the jar should be glue.
  3. Add food coloring if you’d like to tint the water.
  4. Stir well until it is fully mixed. Tighten the lid and shake to test.

STAINED GLASS MASON JARS

Materials

  • Mason jar
  • Sharpies (variety of colors)

Directions

  1. Use the Sharpies to draw a design directly onto the mason jar. Try creating an intricate pattern, colorful blocks, or even a picture of something that brings you joy. Avoid going over the same area multiple times or overlapping colors, as it may cause smudging.
  2. Once dry, place the jar somewhere sunlight can shine through to reveal the beautiful stained-glass effect.
