Supplies:

- small jars /500 ml glass bottles/ small glass candle holders or tea light holders

-food coloring or egg dye; one teaspoon or more per glass container

-craft glue (modge podge or wood adhesive); one teaspoon per container

-water; one teaspoon per container

-measuring cup/plastic container

- plate

-spoon/plastic or wooden stirrer

-paper towels or tin foil

Instructions:

Use clean and dry glass containers. Remove all the labels beforehand using soapy water.

Amount of food coloring, glue, and water used may vary depending on your glass container size. Please adjust the amount if you're using bigger jars or bottles.

Tip: Go easy on the glue to avoid sticky water stains.

Steps:

Mix one teaspoon of craft glue, water, and food coloring in a measuring cup.

Stir it until food coloring is completely enmeshed with glue and water.

Please note: Mixture color may seem vivid at first, but it will fade considerably at the end of the process. If you want vibrant color, feel free to add more food coloring.

Pour your mixture into the glass container of your choice.

Slowly swirl it around inside the jar or a bottle so it completely covers the sides. Do it over the sink, or over the wider plastic container (you may want to reuse sticky liquid to color another jar). Let all the mixture slowly flow out of the jar/bottle.
