Calming Jars | Sensory Jars | Glitter Bottle | 5 minute craft | Harry Potter Inspired

[@Mappycastro]

Hi! I tried like 5 different formulas for sensory “calming” bottles and finding one that worked was anything but calming. YOUT FORMULA IS PERFECTION! Got beautiful results regardless of color, glitter or bottle size. Only thing is I didn’t find the waiting necessary, mixing right away and waiting produced very similar results!

[@ABCuteCreations]

Yay! I'm SO glad this tutorial worked for you! Once you figure out the "correct" formula for you, it becomes much less of a headache and much more calming 😉. I'm thrilled that it all worked out in the end! Thank you for watching and commenting!

[@julieannthebc1835]

Bethany, thank you so much for posting this video! I have tried to make sensory bottles several times in the past, with fairly disappointing results. I happened to have similar soap and a bunch of glitter and bottles left over from my previous attempts, so my client and I were able to make some following your guidelines as soon as we came across your video today! It was so much fun and they really turned out like I have been imagining for so long! They will make excellent additions to our calming kits. Thanks!!!

[@ABCuteCreations]

I'm so happy to hear that you found this tutorial to be helpful! I know there are several methods out there but this is the one I found to work the best for me personally. I love being able to share these fun and wonderful projects! Thank you so much for watching and commenting!

[@awsum_adri]

This is perfect! This looks like just what i wanted! And i think i have all the supplies for it, thank you!!!

[@ABCuteCreations]

That's awesome! I love when projects fall into place like that! I'm glad you found this to be helpful 😊. Let me know how yours turn out if you decide to make them! Thanks so much for watching and commenting!

[@aquaromo]

I have seen some sensory bottles "aquarium" themed that use sand and water, but I like how the glue/soap makes it slow down. Have you ever tried using sand with the soap? Was wondering if it would float around as much as the glitter does which probably wouldn't look as nice 😅

Is the soap or clear glue better to use?

[@nanananana8955]

How does it nor bubble up? Just curious. I love your bottles they are beautiful 😍

[@mariannecarey2358]

Thank U! Very informative!👍

[@Sateisa]

Thank you so much for this, I cant deal with the glues because I'm not american and am scared I wont have that exact elmer's glue or whatever but I can do soap! My husband as a small bottle he is attatched to but wont let go of for who knows what reason so I figured I might as well make something out of for him to actually enjoy.

[@fernandaph8405]

Did he like it?

[@ABCuteCreations]

I'm so glad that you have other options available! Just beware of the "Softsoap" brand. It will not work as this brand does. I hope you were able to find just the right ingredients to make with your husband's bottle so he can continue to enjoy it for years to come. I'd love to hear how it turned out and how he liked it! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@kariejo4614]

I love these! Is it a necessity to use that specific kind of clear soap or can I just get any brand of clear soap?

[@ABCuteCreations]

Great question! You can use a variety of soaps, however, please beware of Soft Soap. My coworker used a clear soft soap brand and it almost immediately turned to a thick creamy white consistency when combined with the water. I've personally only tried the soap in the video but my coworker tried some from the dollar store and had luck. Let me know if you try something else and like it 😁. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@Mappycastro]

I used dial for one and dollar tree for others they all worked. Some gelatinize more so just add more water. And it goes right back to flowing

[@colleenspicher5185]

I want to make these as centerpieces for a 4 hour party. Will the glitter "hang" that long and should I wait just before the party to shake them well? Thanks for the great tutorial. Can't wait to go shopping for some fun glitter!😊

[@haannguyen4402]

I’d use clear glue

[@kcdalene1044]

​@@haannguyen4402did you add the same amount of clear glue as the clear soap?

[@charmurry3585]

Those are cool

[@ABCuteCreations]

Thank you, I agree! They're even better in person 😍. Thanks for watching and commenting 😁!

[@happyplacestudio]

Hi! Great video! Where did your friends find the beachy chunky glitter?

[@ABCuteCreations]

Thank you! I believe they got it at Michael's but I could be mistaken. It's really a lovely glitter!

[@loisancrum8691]

I tried making the bottles for a class that I am teaching, unfortunately I did not read the comment about Softsoap. It clumped everything together. Ordered items using the links provided. Waiting.

[@ABCuteCreations]

Oh no! My coworker didn't have it happen until AFTER I made this video. Otherwise I would've put the disclaimer right in the video. Hopefully you'll have better luck with the next ones you make! I'd love to hear an update if all goes well! Happy new year!

[@IfICanDoItYouCanDoIt]

Nice jars!

[@ABCuteCreations]

Thank you 😄

[@FaithandFun-w6q]

Great content ☺️ well done ✅

[@ABCuteCreations]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching and commenting 😁!

[@K.114.]

Do you have a link for glitter that does NOT change the color of the water? 😔. I have gotten some at Michael's and Amazon but they all change the color of the water and I don't want that😔😔😔.

[@ABCuteCreations]

That is a great question! Really the only glitter that won't bleed over time would be silver or a lighter glitter. Each of my color glitters have bled into the water/soap solution over time. I look at it as extra character and like the slight color variations but if you stick to lighter colored glitters or silvers especially, they shouldn't bleed much into the solution. I hope this helps! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@dawnhubley3900]

How long do they last

[@ABCuteCreations]

It depends on the jar you purchase for your projects and how well you take care of them. I have several that are still going strong and I love to shake them up occasionally. But I also have had some break due to dropping them and having the plastic cap break. Some of the glitters can bleed over time but it doesn't affect how the bottle works. I hope this helps!

[@rejeanahill7818]

Where do you get those jars?

[@alishaobrien7221]

Amazon

[@zoegirl443]

What was in the jar in the beginning? Doesn't seem like water as the glitter did not sink.

[@ABCuteCreations]

It was just water that I added at the beginning. Some glitter sits on top of the water and you have to shake it to really get it to sink and mix in the liquid.

[@dust-7software]

can you mix Elmer's glue and the hand soap + water? I wanna make a glow in the dark tube but idk if itd work

[@whatamievendoing3416]

I've heard of people doing glue and glycerin so I'd assume you'd get same results. Not that you need this now, 2months later.

[@ABCuteCreations]

Yes, I apologize for the very delayed response but I have also heard of people using Elmer's Glue to also make these. I'm not sure what the exact mixture should be but I'm guessing there are others on here on KZbin that would have some helpful tutorials for you and mixture amounts. I'm sorry I can't be of more help with the recipe! But I do want to thank you for watching and commenting!

[@ItsEcho_vr]

Can these work with dish soap? I wanna know cause thats the only soap i have currently

[@ABCuteCreations]

I haven't seen anyone try it with dish soap yet. Most dish soaps are colored so it could give a cool look depending on preference! I'm just not sure how the final product would look as far as cloudiness.

[@ItsEcho_vr]

@@ABCuteCreations alright

[@ashen_one4295]

Hi I wanted to try this for a jar I'm creating with dryer flowers and petals will it work? Or it's a bad idea?

[@pamelaettinger6782]

It should be ok

[@ABCuteCreations]

The pressed flowers are dehydrated so placing them into the water/soap mixture will rehydrate them and would cause them to most likely rot in the jars. I would stay away from really pressed flowers and stick to the polymer clay slices and glitter. I hope this helps! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@kimneurenberg5013]

I was so excited to do soap instead of glue but, I definitely did something wrong. It produced so many micro bubbles that the concoction wasn't just cloudy...it was pure white out.🤦‍♀️ I didn't glue the lid. So im going to do a gasoff round but, because it's soap, it may be a waste of time. Have u had this problem? Maybe I got wrong soap?

[@ABCuteCreations]

Hello! It's possible that it was an issue related directly to the soap that was used? I know that the soft soap brand causes a "whiteout" effect. I didn't know this until AFTER I made this video and it happened to my coworker. Hopefully you were able to troubleshoot and find the right formula for you! Thank you for watching!

[@ourarchivesanimeseriesands9060]

Whats the difference of using the soap or clear glue ?

[@ABCuteCreations]

Great question! Clear glue or glitter glue also work, I've just only used the soap It really depends on what you have available to you and would prefer to use 😊.

[@ewakotula7833]

Why u dont use just regular jars?

[@ABCuteCreations]

You can use any jars you would like. I opted for these because they're plastic so if they are dropped, I don't need to worry about glass. I also like the way they look 😊.

[@ginamoore8379]

Did you place baking soda in them

[@ABCuteCreations]

Not baking soda but glitter 😊

[@Thelastsong96]

Do you need e6000 glue to glue this shut?

[@ABCuteCreations]

It's the glue that I prefer. It's industrial strength and really seems to do a good job. If you have a glue that you'd prefer to use, I'm sure that would be fine too. You just really want to get a good seal. I hope this helps! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@StuffysAreFluffy]

I literally tried it and I got so mad cuz it didn't work

[@ABCuteCreations]

I'm sorry to hear that you had trouble with this tutorial. With what part are you having difficulties?

[@maryburns2336]

Does the polymer clay color fade away over time? i once made a outdoor mosaic and the clayfaded as time went by. i even put a clear coat or two of cement prevention and it still faded.

[@ABCuteCreations]

That is a fantastic question! I too, was concerned about this! So far, the polymer clay has NOT faded away. I will say that if you use a glitter that "bleeds", it is possible that it will transfer to the polymer clay pieces. I haven't combined the polymer clay bits with a glitter that does this (yet) but I imagine that would be a great possibility that it would occur. As for the Polymer clay in the soapy liquid and glitter that doesn't "bleed" I can say that I'm quite impressed with the outcome. I hope this helps! If you have any other questions, please let me know and I'll do my best to answer! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@HellzJezebelle]

Polymer clay will bleach in direct sunlight, especially if left out for any extended time. I imagine it would be fine in these bottles unless you leave them out in the sun.

[@valeriesultan1435]

Where did you buy the Harry Potter glitter

[@o.ggoescrazy6798]

Sorry I’m late does clear glue work instead of hand soap?

[@ABCuteCreations]

Yes! Clear glue and glitter glues are definitely another option!

[@Lft887]

Hello! I made one myself and when I shaked it before gluing it (to see how it falls) there's leakage. Will the super glue stop it from leaking when you shake it?

[@ABCuteCreations]

Great question! It's possible that it will be able to stop it from leaking, however, you will need to be absolutely certain you have 100% of the soap residue cleaned off from the inside of the lid by the threading and the threading directly on the bottle, otherwise the glue will not adhere properly. You can be generous with the glue and don't shake it until the glue is completely cured. Also, make sure you screw the lid on securely. I hope this all helps! Thanks for watching!

[@Lft887]

@@ABCuteCreations thank you!!! I'll be sure to remember 😊

[@ABCuteCreations]

@@Lft887 you're welcome! Good luck!

[@leilanilogan40]

Super glue? Probably not. You need a thick glue like e-6000. Super glue is too liquidy

@@leilanilogan40 yes! Definitely need an industrial strength glue like e-6000!

Gift info bit soooo slowwwww! 10 min could've been 5! And you should shake them some before flying and sealing to prevent goop at bottom! Too chatty!
