How Do You Make A Lava Lamp Out Of Plastic Bottles?
The lava lamp was invented in 1963 and was named such because the ever-moving blobs of wax look like molten lava from a volcano. But you don’t need to spend a lot of money buying one from a novelty store in order to have the effect in your own home.
