Click through the gallery to see how to make your own glitter relaxation jar!
Pour hot water into the jar. Leave enough space in the jar for glitter and glue. For small jars, fill only halfway.
Add glue. For small jars, add at least half the bottle. For larger jars, add the full bottle.
Stir the glue into the water until combined.
Add the loose glitter and stir until well combined.
When stirring, the glitter will clump together. Continue stirring until all pieces are loose and float freely within the jar.
Add water to fill the rest of the jar.
More space at the top of the jar will mean more bubbles with the jar is shaken. You won't be able to get rid of all of the air, since the lid will sit on top, but to eliminate as many bubbles as possible, put the jar in a bowl or in the sink and fill it until water begins to spill over the top.
Place a line of super glue around the edges of the lid or the jar. Screw the lid on tight. Allow the glue to dry according to the directions of the brand you have used.
Remember:
Dust off your art supplies and color your worries away with these coloring pages.
Puppies, kittens, and birds, oh my! Take your pick of cute animals to watch for a relaxing study break.
