So, I saw this idea on Tumblr and I couldn't wait to make one! It didn't come out exact, so I'll probably make another one tomorrow.

This is a great self harm alternative. It was originally thought of by mother's who had reckless toddlers. When they were put in time out, they would watch the glitter of the jar fall to the bottom.

What you need:
A jar (I got a mason jar at the craft store for 50 cents.)
Food coloring (optional)
Glitter glue (This also gives the water some color)
Boiling water
Super glue

What you do:
Boil some water
Add some glitter glue and mix well. The glitter glue helps the glitter take longer to sink to the bottom.
Add a drop or two of food coloring
Add some glitter. The finer glitter, the better. You can also use sequins and such but that'll sink faster.
Optional - You can super glue the lid on if you'd like

My friend made one of these once, they seem fun. It's a calming method isn't it?
