I used a plastic bottle rather than a jar because I keep dropping things. Also an interesting tip is to add some beads or gems to the jar because then not only will it make it even more sparkly but when you shake the bottle it kinda sounds like a rain stick and is really beautiful.
it looks good :) if you put distillated water and add 2 tablespoons of glicerin, then it will last longer, the snow globes are made with this method :)
Aayesha Aijaz depends on what your counter is made out of. not everything is porous and absorbs liquids...........but I'm sure you're a genius and I'm wrong
Thank you for this!!! I'm at the doctor and wasn't able to bring my service dog with me today so I'm very anxious. This is the only video I can find of the glitter jar in use!!
I made one of those relaxing jars and I went to see what the recipe calls for so I can make one for my mom and everything so that's all I wanted to let you know and I've been using it after my therapist said thank you
This is such a lovely video. TY for posting. I am definitely going to try this! P.S. I admire your infinite patience for people asking the same question over and over again. Can't people just take the time to read the comments of others before asking a question? They very likely will find the answers in someone's else's comments!
wow that looks really beautiful....planning to make these jars. one question though - how can you make this stay for long time so you dont need to keep shaking them to see the actual beauty? p.s : these are soooo freaking cute i am in love with them just by watching you make them!
Ah, yay! I'm glad this got you inspired to make one for yourself. 😁 Unfortunately, I don't know how to make the effect last longer. You can always do a trial and error session with more glitter glue, or if you don't want too much glitter, you can try clear craft glue to make the water thicker. 😊
Can you do it with plastic I have 3rd and 4th graders and want to do this activity with them for after school program, but glass will be to dangerous so can plastic bottles or jars work.
Lena Valenzuela yes! it works the same in plastic bottles, that’s what I use for children so they won’t break if dropped. I superglue the lids down when they’ve finished making them aswell, you don’t want them opening them when you’re back is turned and it accidentally spilling everywhere
For mine, the falling effect lasts about 3-4 minutes before all the glitter settles to the bottom again. :-) It's been a little over a year since I made my jar and it still works as if I had just made it; didn't dry out at all! And thank you, I'm super glad you enjoyed the video! :-)
If you don't necessarily have Mason jars do normal jars work? If so should I mix in a separate container and then pour it in the jar? What type if container should I use?
Any container will work just as well. :-) I just preferred to use a mason jar because it's self-sealing and because it looks a little nicer than a plain jar hehe.
I added the food coloring after I heated the water, but before I put any of the glitter in. I don't think it makes much of a difference though, that was just my preference hehe.
Can I add something else than glitter glue or clear glue? Both are very expensive :( I tried with just glitter but it just falls too fast and the calming jar just became a workout. Which I guess works for me but still.
I believe you can substitute the glue for glycerin. :-) I haven't tried it out, but other people in the comments have mentioned it, so that could be a good alternative! It can also be used for other things in the future, so I guess you get more bang for your buck with that hehe.
does it matter if I use a plastic mason jar instead?? I would love to have this on my office desk but i often have children in my office and I'm concerned of the glass jar breaking if it falls.
Hi, I absolutely love this idea and just recently made it. I used a glitter glue from michaels. Two entire bottles and even with that it was still extremely liquidy. What kind of glitter glue did you use?
What about regular white glue? I have glitter glue but it doesn't seem like it's thickening the water -_- how much approximately did you put in...? I put about 1fl oz
Never use regular white glue! It'll make the water appear milky and gross. :-( and I used the entire bottle of glitter glue that was shown in the video, which was about 3 oz.
This tutorial is really great!! But I have a few questions. If you go long periods of time without shaking it, will it still work when you do shake it again or will it get stuck to the bottom? Also should you seal the jar once you're done or just screw the top back on?
Thank you, I'm glad you liked the tutorial! To answer your questions: Yes, it'll still work just the same even if you haven't shaken it after a long period of time. And you don't necessarily have to seal it; just make sure the lid is screwed on completely. :-)
i love this video so much, it's so simple, cute and easy! I usually suck at DIY's cause I'm the clumsiest person in the world hahah, but I may try it.. I only have fabric glitter glue at the moment though so I'm not sure if it will work!
Oh, trust me I'm super clumsy too! Haha. That's why I made this super simple DIY. It's completely foolproof, lol. As for the fabric glue, you can always experiment! :-)
I don't think it'll have as nice of an effect as it would with loose glitter, but I'm sure if you only have the glitter glue and food coloring, it'll still look nice. :-) Testing it out is the best way to go! Hehe.
Do you have to use food coloring or can you use something else? I fell in love with this a long time ago but decided after everything thats happened lately i should probably make one.
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed the video! :-) I heated my water before I dyed it, but you can do it in whichever order you prefer. The result will still be the same, hehe.
The one I made lasts for about 2 minutes once it's been completely shaken. If you want it to last longer, you can add more glitter glue to make the mixture a little bit thicker. :)
You can turn the heat off as soon as the water begins to simmer. :-) But if you'd like it to be any hotter, you can always leave it on the stove for longer.
This looks amazing! Is there any way that you can make something similar to this where you don't have to shake it and still have it look like that? Like stay full 'glitterized' ? :)
I don't think you can use paint. :/ Since it's so thick, it might separate after the water cools down or after all the glue and glitter settles after being shaken. You can experiment with watercolors though! :-)
Hi! The glitter jar is supposed to calm you because you're concentrating on how slowly everything is falling. :-) And unfortunately no, you cannot use white Elmer's glue for this as it will make the appearance milky.
I made this for my teacher a year ago. I didnt even know this was a thing XD also it lasted a long time but it starts forming mold and green stuff.......
Aw, that's nice of you! Yeah, these started popping up out of nowhere this year haha. Hopefully the one I made doesn't grow mold, because I love how it turned out. 😭😂
Not yet but im thinking about doing it soon! :D schools a hassle XD so im just waiting for it to be over for some crafts and fun :D! This is an awesome idea and very clear instructions, thank you!!!
I used a plastic bottle rather than a jar because I keep dropping things. Also an interesting tip is to add some beads or gems to the jar because then not only will it make it even more sparkly but when you shake the bottle it kinda sounds like a rain stick and is really beautiful.
Ty for the diy idea (^^)
it looks good :) if you put distillated water and add 2 tablespoons of glicerin, then it will last longer, the snow globes are made with this method :)
Oh, cool! I'll try that next time. :-)
Guys.... Don't ever put food coloring straight on your counter
Aayesha Aijaz depends on what your counter is made out of. not everything is porous and absorbs liquids...........but I'm sure you're a genius and I'm wrong
Lol
i always do so
@@sillyducky352 you realize this comment os 4 years old right?😂
Thank you for this!!! I'm at the doctor and wasn't able to bring my service dog with me today so I'm very anxious. This is the only video I can find of the glitter jar in use!!
Please don't tell people to but food coloring on their countertops! It will stain!
Ahhhhh no no, the counter!!!!!😥
andra whi
your use of glitter glue was absolutely brilliant, well done!
Ah, thank you! 😊
I made one of those relaxing jars and I went to see what the recipe calls for so I can make one for my mom and everything so that's all I wanted to let you know and I've been using it after my therapist said thank you
Is that heating process thing really necessary?
Yes, the heating process is necessary because it warms the glue so that everything will combine. :-)
Yes it helps... The glitter stays floating much longer
Why would u put food coloring in a whit surface!!!!!!!!!!!!
No need to panic! It came off right away with a towel and some water haha.
lol
great vid by the way
Thank you! 😊 I'm glad you liked it!

We used hot tap water (agua caliente de la canilla) and plastic bottles in class for more safety and it worked really well!
Tried this today...a fail on my part somehow. The glue didn't melt like it was supposed to and the extra glitter just falls to the bottom.
wow that looks really beautiful....planning to make these jars.
one question though - how can you make this stay for long time so you dont need to keep shaking them to see the actual beauty?
p.s : these are soooo freaking cute i am in love with them just by watching you make them!
Ah, yay! I'm glad this got you inspired to make one for yourself. 😁 Unfortunately, I don't know how to make the effect last longer. You can always do a trial and error session with more glitter glue, or if you don't want too much glitter, you can try clear craft glue to make the water thicker. 😊
anytime and these are really nice i just cant stop saying that.
okay i did try the jar out and it was BEAUTIFUL!!
i loved it
I made this for my son but i used 70/30 liquid soap and water, and then lots of glitter. He loves it!
Interesting... I've never heard of that method before! I'll be sure to keep note of that if I ever decide to make another one. :-)
super awesome tutorial, extremely easy. THANK YOU! I've been passing around the link like crazy - people LOVE these!
Can you do it with plastic I have 3rd and 4th graders and want to do this activity with them for after school program, but glass will be to dangerous so can plastic bottles or jars work.

This was so easy to make. Made it within 20 minutes, thanks :D
So glad you liked it! Thank you for watching and trying it out, hehe :-)
Looks like something that I could do with my KAY littles. Thanks for sharing, you make it look so easy.
It is easy! Hehe. Hope yours turned out the way you wanted it to. :-)
Did you use blue food coloring, how big is the glitter gel bottle 4oz.5oz or.Hazel Slaughter
why does it need to be hot water?
Otherwise the glitter glue will clump up and won't separate
+Josie Ireland thank you :))
Josie Ireland Thank you so much
This is gorgeous. I will have to make this with my little girl. She will love it!
How long does this last? Like, does it dry out after so long? Awesome video btw looking for some thing as cool as this! ❤️⭐️
For mine, the falling effect lasts about 3-4 minutes before all the glitter settles to the bottom again. :-) It's been a little over a year since I made my jar and it still works as if I had just made it; didn't dry out at all! And thank you, I'm super glad you enjoyed the video! :-)

Any container will work just as well. :-) I just preferred to use a mason jar because it's self-sealing and because it looks a little nicer than a plain jar hehe.
What can I use to make this glow in the dark? Could glow in the dark paint work? It wouldn't harden because it's mixed with water right?
Can u add clear glue if you wanted it to be slower?
Yes, of course! It might not make a dramatic difference, but it can slow the settling of the glitter by a little bit. :-)
add more glitter glue, the more glue you use the slower it moves
tamara bukta I added a half of glue and it still goes fast ._.
Clear glue won't make it slower. You could always buy glycerin, that will make it slower(it's the stuff they use in snow globes).
wait, does the water have to be warm to start out with? or can it just be normal temperature or a little cold.
the warm water helps the glue dissolve. I experimented with room temperature water and i had to shake the clumps of glue away.
Do you add the drop of food coloring before you heat it up or after you put the glitter in or it doesn't matter?
I added the food coloring after I heated the water, but before I put any of the glitter in. I don't think it makes much of a difference though, that was just my preference hehe.
Where did you get your supplies? Like the glitter?
can we use paint if we dont have food colouring？？？ please reply
Please reply, someone! I was wondering if i can do it without Glitter Glue! Please answerrr!!
Yes, but you have to use a regular clear glue
I'm surely gonna try making this!!!
i liked the idea
Can I add something else than glitter glue or clear glue? Both are very expensive :( I tried with just glitter but it just falls too fast and the calming jar just became a workout. Which I guess works for me but still.

MsXialin Ok, thanks. I will now go and try to find glycerin :D
how long does this last?
does it matter if I use a plastic mason jar instead?? I would love to have this on my office desk but i often have children in my office and I'm concerned of the glass jar breaking if it falls.
As long as it's heat-safe, you can definitely use a plastic jar! 😊
Thank you! Thanks for the awesome video!
+Serena Goodrum It helps to mix it in a glass jar then pour it into a plastic jar once it cools!
thanks! :)
Hi, I absolutely love this idea and just recently made it. I used a glitter glue from michaels. Two entire bottles and even with that it was still extremely liquidy. What kind of glitter glue did you use?
I honestly just used a cheap blue glitter glue from Walmart, haha. I'm not too sure why yours turned out so liquidy. :-/
What about regular white glue? I have glitter glue but it doesn't seem like it's thickening the water -_- how much approximately did you put in...? I put about 1fl oz
Never use regular white glue! It'll make the water appear milky and gross. :-( and I used the entire bottle of glitter glue that was shown in the video, which was about 3 oz.
MsXialin all i have is white glue
This tutorial is really great!! But I have a few questions. If you go long periods of time without shaking it, will it still work when you do shake it again or will it get stuck to the bottom? Also should you seal the jar once you're done or just screw the top back on?

Oh, trust me I'm super clumsy too! Haha. That's why I made this super simple DIY. It's completely foolproof, lol. As for the fabric glue, you can always experiment! :-)
The glitter got stuck to the glitter glue and it falls down in globs. Any help to make it stop globbing?
If you heated the water well enough, the glitter shouldn't stick or glob up... The heat makes the gel in the glue melt so it's easier to mix. 😕
Is it possible to get the same effect of you only use glitter glue, and not the loose glitter?
I don't think it'll have as nice of an effect as it would with loose glitter, but I'm sure if you only have the glitter glue and food coloring, it'll still look nice. :-) Testing it out is the best way to go! Hehe.
I did! It turned out just as nice, but the glitter does go down way faster, but I still love it!!
What if i change the glue with starch? I think it will make the water be more thick
I've personally never tried to substitute starch for glue, but you can always experiment!
This is gorgeous!! This is the first time I've watched your videos and they're really cool! You've earned another subscriber!! ❤️❤️
Judy Mahibol Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked them!
Love the colour!
Uh i don't have glitter glue, can i use clear glue ?
I only have normal glitter :/
no. you can just use hot water from the sink.
Kayla Landis can you actually? That's a good idea haha wow
Do you have to use food coloring or can you use something else? I fell in love with this a long time ago but decided after everything thats happened lately i should probably make one.
I've only ever used food coloring, but you can always try experimenting with other things! :-)
Do u think paint would work or non
Hey it works
But the gliter won't mix it stays up
Can i use paint instead of food coloring
it looks so nice
what if I'd use red glitter glue and blue food coloring and blue glitter powder
try it out, experiment with all kinds of mixtures I have been and they turn out so nice
i do not have glitter glue but i have glitter, will that work?
Santiana Gayton i didnt say i have glye either. I dont, i only have white normal glue
Same here
Do you have to warm the water on the stove? or could you use hot tap water?
You can microwave the water for about 3-4 minutes on high and that should get it to the same temperature as if you were to boil it on a stovetop. :-)
MsXialin I actually used hot tap water and it worked fine, I just had to close the jar and shake it so the glitter glue would separate.
Do you have to use boiled water?
will this work in a vase without a lid?
Do I have to use the glitter glue?
Where did you get your glitter?
would it be okay if I made it without the food coloring?
Yes, of course! It's completely optional; I added food coloring for my own personal preference. :-)
I want to do this with an art class but we cant boil water, of course. Any suggestions?
Ashley McConnell you could just use hot tap water (:
I used alot of different tipe of glitter glue but i didn't use glitter and it ended as a glitter glue galaxy jar and it looked so good
can you use a mix of different colors of glitter glue
Definitely! You can customize this to your liking; I just preferred to keep everything blue. :-)
is it okay of i use regular glue ?
Nice video, I've made quite a few. And funny thing is, I never use food coloring, but the glitter will change the water color, lol
Unfortunately for me, I only had white glitter, so I sorta needed the food coloring to give it a little more character haha.
Ah I see!
can i use a clear glue?
do you think fabric glitter glue would work?
Hmm... I personally wouldn't recommend it because fabric glue can make it really goopy, but it never hurts to try! :-)
do you HAVE to use glue?
how long can it last?
thank you i really enjoyed your video
will it work with the Elmer's glue?
It will work with clear Elmer's glue! However, the regular white glue will make the water very milky and you won't get the same effect.
ahhhh I love this!!! yours turned out so well. thanks for sharing :)
Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it. :-)
When you add the food coloring dye to the water, do you dye the water then heat it up? Or heat it up and then dye it? :) Awesome video btw!
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed the video! :-) I heated my water before I dyed it, but you can do it in whichever order you prefer. The result will still be the same, hehe.
Cool! How long do they last?
what can I add to make it glow in the dark?
Glowsticks
Glow in the dark paint
I LOVE YOUR DIY!!!!!! SO CUTE😀😆😊
Donna Rajcevic Thank you! :-)
Best thing ever
I'm glad you liked it! Hope you try this out for yourself. :-)
Does this actually work and how long does it last ?? Please someone tell me
The one I made lasts for about 2 minutes once it's been completely shaken. If you want it to last longer, you can add more glitter glue to make the mixture a little bit thicker. :)
!!! I want to try this !!!
Please do! It's super fun and easy! :-)
Please someone answer...I don't have glitter glue but I have clear glue...will it work?
Glitter glue is basically clear glue with glitter lol
You can add your clear glue and then add some glitter in the jar.
so pretty i'm going to the supply store and doing this :)
Great! I hope yours turns out well! :-)
Does the water have to be warm ?
Yes, the water has to be hot so the glue will sort of melt and make things easier to blend/mix together.
How many minutes do you boil the water?
You can turn the heat off as soon as the water begins to simmer. :-) But if you'd like it to be any hotter, you can always leave it on the stove for longer.
This looks amazing! Is there any way that you can make something similar to this where you don't have to shake it and still have it look like that? Like stay full 'glitterized' ? :)
Hmm... That sounds like a really good alternative! I'll experiment and get back to you if any of my attempts work out. :-)
Thank you! :) x
I used soap, dish soap, or shampoo for mine and it looked like it was frozen in time!
Is that a good thing? What do you mean by 'frozen in time?' Do you mean that it doesn't move?
is the background music pancake tower?
A little help? I started this... and the jar cracked after adding the water :/
Maybe the jar was cold?
ChynaWillow123 it must have been... i let it cool outside before doing the work
Your water was too hot
Quick tip: put half of hot water in the jar and normal water until the top ^,^
do we have to use food coloring or we can use paint?
I don't think you can use paint. :/ Since it's so thick, it might separate after the water cools down or after all the glue and glitter settles after being shaken. You can experiment with watercolors though! :-)
Maybe water color paint or thinned acrylic.
Water color can definitely be used as a substitute for food coloring! :-) Great suggestion!
If you mess up can you poor it in the sink?
Definitely! As long as you haven't completely sealed it up, you can always go back and fix it. :-)
do we need to add the food coloring ?
It's not absolutely necessary, but it does make the glitter stand out and gives the jar more of a personal touch. 😊
MsXialin okay thank you !
It didn't work at all
Do u have to shake it to get it like that
Yes. :-( Unfortunately, it won't stay completely glittery. I've tried several times, haha.
where can you bye the Mason jars at?
At a craft store or online
Walmart in the household section near pots and pans.
If you add lots of glitter glue,then will the falling affect last longer!
Good tip! I'll try that if I ever re-make this. :-)
How long does the "shining", "glow", last?
Before having to re-shake the jar, it should typically last for about 3-5 minutes. :-)
Thanks:)
PLZ someone answer me CAN I USE WHIT GLUE????
What effect will happen?
Hi! The glitter jar is supposed to calm you because you're concentrating on how slowly everything is falling. :-) And unfortunately no, you cannot use white Elmer's glue for this as it will make the appearance milky.
Did you make it? I'd make a little bitty one to see how it turns out. Just use a baby food jar or something else that seals good.
Ava Worster k
no it will make it ugly trust me!!!!!!!
I made this for my teacher a year ago. I didnt even know this was a thing XD also it lasted a long time but it starts forming mold and green stuff.......
Aw, that's nice of you! Yeah, these started popping up out of nowhere this year haha. Hopefully the one I made doesn't grow mold, because I love how it turned out. 😭😂
yea hopefully it doesn't but you can probably filter them out. i haven't tried that but it might work. ^-^
Air must have gotten into it. You have to vacuum seal them like you would when you can food.
Can u use glitter paint
Awww these are so pretty!!! :D
I'm glad you like it!
Not yet but im thinking about doing it soon! :D schools a hassle XD so im just waiting for it to be over for some crafts and fun :D! This is an awesome idea and very clear instructions, thank you!!!
But my glitter is settling very quickly
So pretty 😍😍😍
How long do you need to let it cool😀
As long as you don't scorch your hands while trying to handle the jar, it shouldn't take very long to cool lol.
