Description

Create your own calming bottle filled with glitter and soothing decorations for relaxation and mindfulness.


Ingredients

  • 1 Clear plastic or glass bottle (1624 oz, with tight-sealing lid)
  • Warm water (enough to fill most of the bottle)
  • 12 tbsp clear corn syrup (or clear glue)
  • 12 tbsp white school glue (optional)
  • Fine glitter (2–3 coordinating colors, about 1–2 tsp total)
  • Sequins, tiny beads, or microfoam shapes (optional, 1–2 tbsp)
  • 12 drops liquid food coloring (optional)
  • 1 tsp glycerin (optional)
  • Hot glue or super glue (to seal lid airtight)


Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Bottle: Remove labels and rinse the bottle thoroughly. Ensure it’s dry and that the lid fits snugly.
  2. Mix the Base Liquid: Combine warm water (3⁄4 of the bottle’s volume) with corn syrup (or glycerin) and stir in glue if desired. Add food coloring if using.
  3. Add Glitter & Embellishments: Pour glitter into the bottle, followed by any sequins or shapes.
  4. Fill & Seal: Add the prepared liquid into the bottle, leaving 1 inch of space, then seal the lid with glue.
  5. Shake & Enjoy: Shake the bottle and watch the glitter settle while focusing on your breathing. Experiment with themes for unique designs.

Notes

You can customize the bottle with various colors and themes. Adjust components to change the tranquil effects.
