We used the shells, glitter and sequins that came with the kits, but also added wiggly eyes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step Two:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Fill up the majority of the tube with water (about a 9:1 ratio of water to glue). The more room you leave for glue, the more \u201cslow motion\u201d the sensory bottle will move.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step Three:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Add glue to the bottle so it is almost at the brim. Make sure you leave room for glue in step 5!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step Four:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Add a couple drops of Liquid Watercolor. Have fun with colors! The more you add, the darker the liquid will be. If you use less, it will be easier to see the objects.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step Five:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Screw the cap on tightly. After the cap is on, hot glue the outside of the cap where it connects to the bottle. This adds an extra protective seal that will keep the bottle from leaking.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step Six:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>SHAKE up your sensory bottle and watch the satisfying, colorful, slow motion of the objects floating around!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19345\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sensory-bottles-DIY.png\" alt=\"sensory bottles DIY\" width=\"540\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sensory-bottles-DIY.png 540w, https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sensory-bottles-DIY-220x183.png 220w, https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sensory-bottles-DIY-300x250.png 300w, https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sensory-bottles-DIY-360x300.png 360w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong><u>About the Author:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My name is Savannah Syke, my whole life I have loved making creative and colorful projects and spending time with children.
