We will need the following materials:
- Plastic jars with cover
- Dye food
- Water
- Purpurin
- Cotton
- A toothpick
- Una spoon
- A container to make mixtures
Step by step
First we are going to fill the pot halfway with water. We add a few drops of coloring of the chosen color, in this case it is red. With the teaspoon we stir well.
We also add a few drops of black coloring, we stir well, thus we obtain a more special color.
Now we are going to start putting cotton inside the pot. We are placing little by little and with the toothpick we stir so that it is impregnated with the dyed water. We stop putting cotton when it sticks out above the water.
We add glitter, in this case I have chosen in gold color but it can be the kids' choice. Again we remove carefully with the toothpick.
We put cotton back in until we finish filling the pot. In the container, we mix a little water with coloring, in this case I have added a few drops of red food coloring. With the water we finish filling the pot and stir carefully to wet the cotton.
In conclusion, add a little more glitter and move with the toothpick. We close the pot well and voila, we have a fun and original cosmic pot of calm.
