How to do it

1
Make a figure from Fimo Kids according to your imagination. Make sure it fits in thejar lid and that you don't make it too tall.

2
Place the finished figure in a household oven at 130°C for 30 minutes.

3
With help from an adult, glue the figure onto the inside of the lid (use water resistant super glue).

4
Sprinkle glitter into the jar (you choose how much).

5
Fill the jar to the rim with tap water and some glycerine. A TIP: preferably de-mineralised water which is free from bacteria and therefore lasts longer (this, and glycerine, are available from the chemist). The glycerine makes the glitter fall gently when shaking the jar.

6
Apply Clear Multi Glue onto the rim of the lid and screw the lid with the glued on figure onto the jar.

7
Shake the jar to see the effect.
