Homemade Salt Glitter

Glitter makes everything better!

With that mantra, it's a bit distressing when my craft cupboard runs bare and there are no sparkles to be found anywhere.  When that happens, I resort to making colored salt to use in place of glitter.  It twinkles and gives your crafts a bit of shimmer without breaking the bank.

Here is how I make homemade glitter:

First, put the desired amount of salt in a baggie.

Second, add a drop or two of liquid watercolor or food coloring.  I prefer watercolor, but that is only because it is washable.

Third, seal the bag and knead the salt and coloring together.  Do this until the coloring is evenly distributed.

Finally- create!  We used this batch for 3D Firework Art!
