    If you want it to be thicker then clear glue can also be added. I’m thinking of trying out oorbees but I’m not sure if they’ll be visible enough.

    "Empty the water out & rinse them & wash them, if you'd like..."
    OR you could *drink the water* then wash them?
    Just an idea.

    i made one with a figi water bottle and corn syrup, beads and glitter. So first u fill up the figi bottle about 2/4 full with corn syup. then if u want food coloring in there u can put whatever color u like but just put 1 drop of food coloring. tHen after that i put different types of sequins,glitter, and beads.Next ihot glued the cap on so the cornsyrup mix wouldnt leak, then took of the label on the ater bottle. also dont forget to drink the water

  • @hexmaniacmarie5654
    @hexmaniacmarie5654 8 лет назад +2

    What could be fun too is you could decorate the tops before gluing them onto the actual bottle to match what is inside, like coating the glitter one in the glitter, or painting them with different color spray paint so they are easy to tell apart when looking down at the nifty caddy. :)

    • @AnnekeOosterink
      @AnnekeOosterink 8 лет назад +1

      That's a good idea, but only if the child no longer puts things in their mouths. Otherwise they might poison themselves eating up paint. :)

    Do you think baby oil would work instead of the glycerin? I haven't been able to find glycerin yet.

    • @ThePurpleAlphabet
      @ThePurpleAlphabet  8 лет назад +1

      I don't think so.... oil is a bit different in density. I put a link to in in the description box if you'd like to buy it off amazon. If not, I'd check the baking sections of the grocery store. It's pretty common for baking.

  • @misterkister123
    @misterkister123 7 лет назад +1

    Will the contents of the bottles mold over time? Or does the glycerin keep that from happening? You could also use wax in the bottle (GLASS) and put it on one of those low temp, USB powered cup warmers....voila, instant lava lamp! (Minus the lamp part)

    I would LOVE to use the voss bottles! BUT! My kids chew/throw our bottles (we use Naked and the nesquick(?) bottles for our sensory) and I tested this one bottle that has the same top like the voss and it busted.
    But we like the bottles we use anyway.

    Another thing you can do is if you are not giving it to a toddler or child is to use jam jars and other jars. They are glass so you do have to be careful but that way you are reusing things. Or you could just use plastic bottles but I find those too crinkly.

    I guess I was expecting them to be more like the ones that look like the ocean waves rolling
    and I don’t know if that’s oil in those or the glycerin
    there were too many things in the bottles to tell if they did that sea like thing

  • @blackbeauty0912
    @blackbeauty0912 8 лет назад

    I want to make lamp bases out of these with the glitter for my living from. If I put a lot of glycerin in will that keep the glitter from settling? I want the glittery movemen in water effect, but I don't want to have to be shaking my lamps all the time...or ever actually! What is the glycerin to water ratio that I should use in order for no settling to occur?

    • @ThePurpleAlphabet
      @ThePurpleAlphabet  8 лет назад

      +blackbeauty0912 No, I'm sorry... The glycerin is to help the glitter from sticking together. It will still settle at the bottom.

    • @blackbeauty0912
      @blackbeauty0912 8 лет назад

    • @blackbeauty0912

      Hmm, that would be a ton of hair gel, but I guess that's what the 99 cent store is for...lol! I will try a smaller version of that idea first (before I do a lamp base) and let you know how it goes. Thanks!

    You're intro music is a bit much. Way too loud and busy-sounding. Great bottles though. I want to make some myself!

      +AlyssaQ420 Thank you for the feedback and have fun making sensory bottles!

    I thought you were going to put some of the things ON the bottles. Like a couple of strips of pipe cleaner, a couple of small beads, a couple of fish tank beads and glitter. I must not understand the concept. I thought a sensory jar was for a variety of sensation.
