- Carefully remove the ink cartridge from the highlighter.
- Submerge the ink cartridge in the water, allowing it to soak for 10-15 minutes.
- You can cut the cartridge to let more ink escape or speed up the process.

- Observe the transformation as the water changes color.
- After the ink has fully dissolved into the water, remove the empty cartridge.

- Adjust the lighting to see different effects of the jar’s glow.
Notes
Tips: Use multiple highlighters for a multi-colored jar, sprinkle glitter for added sparkle, and consider adding essential oils for a soothing aroma.
