In reply to Katherine Cummings. Hi Katherine, I'm sorry I missed your comment! We used the butterflies listed in the sensory bottle supply section. :)

In reply to Gail.

Hi Gail, great question!

No, glycerin will not work in place of hand soap. The butterflies would sink quickly to the bottom if you used glycerine. Glycerin is great for helping the glitter in sensory bottles swirl but is not viscous enough to help the butterflies float, swirl and fly slowly. Hand soap helps add viscosity to the water so the butterflies can gently fly around the sensory bottle. 🙂

Would glycerin work in place of the hand soap?

In reply to Debbie. Hi Debbie! Yes, after you are happy with the content and how it moves it is time to glue it shut. You can also add duck tape around it to make it extra secure. The lids can break if there are twisted after they are glued shut. :)

Do you glue the lid down after you are satisfied with the bottle and the contents are no longer murky?? Thanks!

In reply to Eva. Yes, but you will need to use more dish soap and less water :)

Do you happen to know the brand of clear liquid hand soap you used? I’ve used baby oil and water but see where the hand soap would keep things suspended for a longer time.
