Creative recycling glass jars? Let's find out how to create a nebula in a jar or even in a bottle
Creative recycling glass jars? Let's find out how to create one nebula in a jar or even in a bottle! Very few tricks are enough to create a multicolored decoration for the home or children's room. Enclosing a nebula in a bottle is really simple. It will be like having a piece of the universe at your fingertips.
Making this colorful bottle can become an opportunity to explain to children what are nebulae and how many secrets the universe hides. For example, we can tell the little ones that some nebulae are generated after the death of a star.
Creative recycling glass jars
Here's how to make a nebula in a bottle or jar. This idea will allow you to creatively recycle glass or plastic jars.
For this project you will need:
1 jar or 1 transparent bottle with cap
1 straw or 1 pencil
A few cotton balls
Dyes for food or fabrics
Glitter
Acqua
Gloves
1) Wash and dry the jar or bottle carefully. You can choose them plastic or glass.
2) Fill 1/3 of the jar or bottle withwater.
3) Pour a small amount of the dye chosen. The pink andblue are the colors that work best to create the nebula. Mix well with a pencil or straw (or with a wand) to mix water and color.
4) Add the cotton. The quantity depends on the size of the chosen container. The cotton must be completely submerged in water. Lower it with the help of the pencil or straw.
5) Pay the glitter, close the container and shake well.
6) Put more cotton in the container to create a second layer.
7) Prepare in a separate bowl a new solution of water and dye, choosing a second color. Once ready, pour over the second layer of cotton.
8) Add more glitter and shape other layers of cotton and different colors until the bottle or jar is completely filled.
9) You can also decide to create one nebula of only one color per container and then combine jars or bottles with different colors.
10) Close your container very tightly. You can fix the cap with hot glue if you like, just to be safe.
You just have to experiment! Here is a fantastic way to creatively recycle glass jars!
