How Do You Make Colored And Layered Sand Or Salt Jars?
If you would like to make an easy craft project using sand or salt and coloring it, this project is a great start. The items needed are budget conscious and easy to obtain. This makes a great school or vacation-with-the-kids craft. • Fill paper cups with sand or salt near the top. Fill as many cups as you would like. The amount of colors depends on how colorful you would like the final result. • Put a few drops of food coloring or watered-down tempera paint into each cup. Mix each coloring in well using a spoon. • Spoon some of the colored sand or salt into the jar. As you pour the sand or salt in, use alternating colors to make layers. • For a fun look, use a toothpick to poke the sand to create wavy lines. Seal the jar and you have a finished product.
