Make a coloured salts bottle!

These look great in the bathroom or as a decoration.

What you’ll need:

  • Salt (if you don’t have salt, you can use sand or rice)
  • Coloured Chalks
  • Paper
  • An empty jar or bottle

How to make it. Pour an amount of salt onto paper (enough to fill about one to two centimeter of the jar or bottle). Run the salt with a coloured chalk until it changes colour). Pour it in the jar/bottle.

Now repeat the process with a different coloured chalk. Keep doing this with the different colours you have until you have filled the jar… and it should look something like this:
