Water Bottle Craft With Water And Oil
Do you have empty water bottles lying around at home? Don't throw them away just yet! In this article, we will show you how to make a beautiful craft using just water and oil.
What You Will Need:
Before we begin, gather the following materials:
- Empty water bottles
- Water
- Cooking oil
- Food coloring (optional)
- Glycerin (optional)
- A funnel
- A dropper (optional)
Instructions:
Follow these easy steps:
- Clean your empty water bottles and remove their labels.
- Fill the bottles with water up to about 2/3 of their capacity.
- Add a few drops of food coloring to the water (optional).
- Add a few drops of glycerin to the water (optional). Glycerin will make the water more viscous, which will help the oil droplets move slower and give a better effect.
- Using a funnel, fill the remaining 1/3 of the bottle with cooking oil. Be careful not to fill it all the way to the top, leave about 1 cm of space.
- If you want to add more colors, you can add a few more drops of food coloring to the oil. This will create a layered effect.
- Close the bottle tightly and shake it well. You should see the oil droplets moving slowly through the water.
- If you want to add more oil, use a dropper to add it slowly. This will create more droplets and a better effect.
How It Works:
But how does it work? The oil and water don't mix because they have different densities. Oil is less dense than water, so it floats on top. The food coloring and glycerin mix with the water and help to slow down the oil droplets, making them move slowly and create a beautiful effect.
Conclusion:
Now that you know how to make this easy and beautiful craft, you can create your own unique designs. You can also use different colors and sizes of bottles to create a stunning display. This craft is not only fun to make, but it's also a great way to recycle and repurpose empty water bottles.
