In reply to JJ. Yes, JJ! The glue is for sealing the lid shut once you are satisfied with your sensory bottle DIY. I'm sorry that I did not make that clear!

The superglue … did I miss what its use is? Is it for sealing the lid?

In reply to Heavy. In my mind's eye, it sounds possible. Just make sure you fill each bottle up to the top before you put the cap on and it just might work. Let me know how it goes!

In reply to nell. I'm thinking of doing this activity at a party that is only 3 hours long, so I don't want this beautiful craft to be murky during the party. Can you mix the water and soap ahead of time for 10 children and then let them pour the mixture into their bottles all at once?

In reply to Hannah. Good question Hannah! Glue is generally used in glitter bottles to help the glitter suspend and swirl. For other bottles with heavier pieces like this, you can use either clear hand soap, or clear dishwashing soap to make the water more viscous to slow the shells down. Clear hand soap is thicker so you will need to balance it with water, while dishwashing soap will need less water if any. I hope that makes sense. Feel free to use the contact button above if you need any more help :)

Why did you use hand soap in this instead of glue?
