Instructions 

  • First, soak your water beads according to the instructions on your package.
    Then, separate your beads into different color sections.
  • Now, put your water beads in the bottle. Add a funnel to your bottle and start dropping the beads in.
  • Start with your first color and then add the rest in layers.
  • Now, add water to fill your bottle up.
  • Next, add glue to your bottle’s lid, place it on your bottle, and let it dry.
  • Your first bottle is complete. Enjoy!
  • Start your second bottle by filling it up ¼ of the way with water.
  • Then, pour glue into the bottle, but don’t fill it up all the way.
  • Start adding beads to the bottle.
  • You can also add sequins, glitter, crystals, and confetti.
  • Pour more glue into the bottle, almost to the top.
    Then, add glue to the bottle lid, place it back on the bottle, and let it dry. Your second bottle is finished.
  • Start making your third bottle in the same way that we started the second. Fill your bottle up ¼ of the way with water and then pour some glue in.
  • Add some food coloring.
  • Let the food color drizzle down into the bottle. Don’t you think this process is so satisfying to watch?
  • Now, add a lot of glitter, along with sequins and confetti.
  • Finally, pour more glue into the bottle almost to the top. Glue the lid on, let it dry, and enjoy!
