We use glitter in so many crafts at our house so I thought it was high time we tried a DIY version!
As it turns out, you only need 2 ingredients…that’s right TWO ingredients…do I have you intrigued? You should be…are you ready…
All you need is:
- Epsom Salts and
- Food colouring
Method
Pour your desired amount of salt into a ziplock bag (one colour per bag).
Then add a few drops of food colouring (the amount you use, will depend on the vibrance of colour you are after).
Seal the bag, then squish & squelch the bag until all of the colour is distributed evenly.
Leave the bags open to dry over night and the next morning, you will have wonderful homemade glitter!
