Instructions
To begin, pour a small amount of water into your jar. Fill it about ΒΌ of the way.
Then, add your first paint color to the jar.
Put the lid on your jar and shake it so that the water and the paint mix together.
Add some glitter.
Spread a few cotton balls out so that they are no longer in a ball shape. Add them to your jar.
Use a spoon to firmly press them down.
The entire bottom of the jar should be covered with cotton balls.
Repeat the process with another layer of paint. First, add some more water.
Mix another paint color into the water with a spoon.
Add some glitter. Spread some more cotton balls out and add them to your jar.
Repeat the steps again. Add more water to the jar to form another layer.
Then, get another color of paint and stir it into the water. Add some glitter.
Now, spread some more cotton balls out and add them to the jar.
Put the lid on. Your beautiful galaxy jar is complete.
Notes
* You need to use at least 2 colors to achieve the look that you want for these galaxy jars. I have used pink, purple, and blue for my galaxy jars.
