A Make-Your-Own Lava Lamp

Ingredients
1 water bottle
Vegetable oil
Water
Food coloring
1 Alka-Seltzer tablet

Preparation:

Pour vegetable oil into 3/4 of a water bottle. Fill the rest with water.

Let the water bottle settle for a few minutes.

Then, add drops of food color into the bottle at your own discretion. Let the food coloring settle at the bottom. If the food coloring does not settle, take a stick and swish the liquid around to blend in the coloring.

Drop a tablet of Alka-Seltzer into the bottle.

Make-Your-Own Tile Paint

Corn starch
Liquid hand soap

Add a quarter cup of corn starch into a bowl. Then, add 1/8th of a cup of hand soap and whisk together.

Make-Your-Own Snow

Baking Soda
Hair Conditioner

Add baking soda into a bowl. Slowly mix in hair conditioner until you get a snow-like feel. Decorate as you see fit.
