Summer Craft for Kids - Colored  Salt Glass Decoration

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Examine the tutorial pictures above right for creating the color salt. This craft recipe is simple!

1. The first step is to fill a small bowl up with the amount of salt you need. Insert the chalk and work it around the salt in a circular motion. This will start to color the salt. A little patience is needed. Continue until the color is as intense as you would like it to be.
2. Fill your glass now with the colored salts. This will create layers of different colors. If you would like to create patterns and designs, take a spoon end or a knitting needle and insert it in the glass and poke the colors down as desired. By moving the object around, you can create many interesting looks.
