DIY: Glitter Jars

Running out of ideas to keep those energetic kids occupied? We’ve got an easy answer that’ll help them keep calm and glitter on! A step-by-step guide for DIY glitter jars is below. Helpful hint: have the vacuum handy.

 

 

What you’ll need:

  • An empty mason jar (or plastic water bottle)
  • ½ cup of liquid glue (clear or glitter)
  • Distilled water
  • Hot glue gun or super glue
  • GLITTER!! 

 

Step 1: Pour a ½ cup of distilled water into your mason jar. Using distilled water instead of tap water will keep your glitter jar free from contaminants like mold (yuck!).

Step 2: Pour a ½ cup of glue into the jar.

Step 3: Sprinkle 1-2 teaspoons of glitter into the jar. We recommend using a variety of glitter to make your jar sparkle! After all, more shapes and more colors = MORE FUN! We used Yoobi Glitter Shakers, Yoobi Flower Glitter, Yoobi Star Glitter, Yoobi Party Hat Glitter and Yoobi Heart Glitter.

Step 4: Fill up the remainder of the jar to the top with distilled water.

Step 5: Using a hot glue gun, put a ring of glue around the lid. Place the lid on, making sure it’s secure.

Step 6: Shake, shake, shake the jar!

 

And that’s all there is to it! Now you've got a glitter jar to soothe and sparkle! ✨
