How to Make an Ocean in a Jar
This nifty project doesn't take much time and can be made with things you probably already have!
Supplies
- A Pint Jar
- Water, Approximately 1/2 Cup
- Oil, Approximately 1/2 Cup
- Blue Food Colouring
- Small Seashells
- Sequins
- Glitter
Put One Drop of Blue Colouring in the Jar
You can adjust it to your preference, but be sure to start with just a drop since adding too much will make it opaque.
Fill 2/3 With Water
Add Sequins, Glitter, and Shells
At this step you can get creative and add your own touch of nautical element, such as a bit of dish soap for sea foam!
Top Off the Jar With Oil
Baby oil works very well, but plain ol' cooking oil will work too.
Screw the Lid on Tight and Give It a Good Shake!
Make sure the lid is on right or you'll have a big mess!
