You will need
A clear jar with a lid – a mason jar is perfect
Water
Crystal flakes or glitter
Acrylic paints – ‘spacey’ colours such as blue, purple, orange – you decide, but use at least 2 different colours for the best effect.
Cotton wool balls (lots and lots as they will squish down with the water and paint)
To make your nebula/galaxy jar
- Fill your jar 1/3 full of water
- Add several drops of the paint – put the lid on the jar and shake to mix
- Add a bit of fine glitter to the water/paint
- Pull the cotton wool balls apart slightly and add them to the water until the bottom of the jar is filled. Press them down into the water with a spoon
- Fill another third of the jar with water and add more paint (a different colour)
- Repeat steps 2-4 so the colours start to blend slightly
- Fill the final 1/3 of the jar with another colour paint and repeat steps 2-4
If you are using two colours, fill your jar in two halves
If you are using 4 colours, fill your jar ¼ at a time
