What You'll Need

A Mason jar
Water
Paints in pink, blue, and purple colours
Silver glitter

Instructions

1. Begin by filling the mason jar 1/3 of the way with water.

2. Grab the silver glitter and add it to the water. You can put as much or as little glitter as you would like.

3. Decide what colour paint you want to use first and add a few drops of it into the mason jar. Make sure you screw the lid back on to the jar tightly.

4. Now for the fun part! Lightly shake the mason jar and watch the water, paint and glitter mix together.

5. Next, stretch out the cotton balls and place them at the bottom of the mason jar. 6. Repeat steps 1-5 until you reach the top of the jar and place the lid back on.
