This DIY Galaxy Jar turns a clear jar into a colorful, starry decoration using water, cotton balls, food coloring, and glitter. It’s a simple, hands-on craft for beginners and families, perfect for creating a small piece of galaxy-inspired décor or a thoughtful handmade gift.

Ingredients

  • 1 clear jar with a secure lid
  • Water
  • Food coloring
  • Cotton balls
  • Glitter
  • Star stickers

Instructions

  1. Fill the jar with water. Leave a little room at the top so the contents can move when you gently shake it.
  2. Add food coloring. Start with a few drops and stir or swirl the water. Add more gradually until you reach your preferred galaxy color.
  3. Add the cotton balls. Gently place them into the jar. Avoid packing them too tightly; a loose arrangement is easier to achieve and allows the contents to shift.
  4. Sprinkle in glitter. Add a small amount for a starry effect. You can always add more, so start lightly.
  5. Decorate the outside, if you like. Place star stickers on the jar’s exterior.
  6. Seal the jar. Tighten the lid securely, then shake the jar gently to blend the contents. Enjoy your homemade galaxy.

Notes

This is a decorative jar, not a washable textile project. Keep it sealed and wipe the outside with a soft, slightly damp cloth if needed. Avoid soaking the jar or getting water around the lid.
