DIRECTION
Step 1: This is a layering game, so each step involves adding small amounts of ingredients. Begin with water and add two drops of your first color.
Step 2: Add enough cotton balls to create a filled layer. For this size, we used about 4-5 cotton balls.
Step 3: Take your second color and add 2-3 drops over the cotton balls. Aim for the drops to land in the center and on the sides so the color can spread out beautifully.
Step 4: Add your glitter.
Step 5: Repeat steps 1-4 to continue layering your ingredients. Keep adding water, cotton balls, and colors for a vibrant galaxy effect!
We suggest gluing the top on to avoid unwanted spills.
Enjoy your new mini galaxy! Experiment with different containers to create a fun desktop galaxy or a charming addition to your home decor.
