Light it up BLUE for Autism : Painted Jar Art

April is Autism Awareness & Acceptance month! We've been brainstorming with a few ways to bring more blue into our life this month and wanted to share them with you!

Today we are making Painted Jar Art! 

We found the project idea here at: https://www.facebook.com/SuesCountryCorner

 

Supplies needed are jars, glue, and food coloring, and water

We added 2 teaspoons glue and 1 teaspoon of water

add 3-4 drops of food coloring, and mix to a uniform consistency

Swish liquid around jar to coat (lids are helpful at this point)

Keep flipping and swishing until several "coats" are applied.

We let our jars sit overnight upside down on  a rack in the sink to drain the liquid, and this is what they looked like in the morning        

We added blue marbles and a flame free candle. LIGHT IT UP!

Stained Glass Jar

Tear 2 or 3 colors if tissue paper into about 1 inch pieces

Glue to inside of jar, slightly overlapping pieces

let glue completely dry

Add marbles and flame free candle. LIGHT IT UP!
