GLITTER SPARKLE HURRICANE BOTTLES
Remove the label from a clean, clear 16oz. plastic soda bottle. Pour at least 1/2 cup of light corn syrup into the bottle. Then add a few drops of food coloring and some glitter and/or confetti. Hot glue the lid onto the bottle. Have the children swirl and shake the bottle and watch it's movement. These can be varied considerably and still work great. Use the natural tendencies of oil and water to make a "lava lamp" type bottle. Just mix oil and water half and half, add a few sparkles and secure the lid. You can use 2 pop bottles joined at the mouth for these interesting bottles. Be sure to secure them very, very well, using hot glue gun or duct tape to prevent leaks.
NEW AT CRAFTING?
Let's face it, crafting isn't for everyone. Some people have never experimented with craft materials, and feel they don't have a creative bone in their body. All of a sudden there's a child in your life that wants to "craft". You want to encourage their interest, but feel lost! Well have no fear….Crafting is an art. It's the process of discovering with your child that is important, not the perfect results.
