Equipment
bowl
spoon
pencil
Ingredients
For the Salt Glitter
epsom salt
food coloring
For the Easter Canvas
canvas
white school glue
Instructions
Salt Glitter
In a small bowl, combine approximately 1 cup of epsom salt and 2 drops of food coloring. Stir well. Add an additional drop of coloring if needed to achieve desired color.
Spread colored salt onto a foil lined baking sheet and allow to dry completely.
Repeat steps 1-2 to make each color of glitter salt desired.
Canvas
Using a pencil, lightly outline the shape of an egg on your canvas.
Cover the area where you would like your first color of glitter salt to go with glue.
Pour salt glitter on top of the glue. Gently press the salt down into the glue with your fingers. Tap the canvas to gently knock off any excess salt. Allow the glue to dry completely before moving to the next color to avoid colors mixing.
Repeat steps 2-3 until the entire egg is filled in.
Allow glue to dry fully before displaying your beautiful Easter project.
Notes
If you wish to make a design other than a straight line on your canvas (e.g., a squiggly line), work on the area with the design first and then go back and work on the surrounding areas onces the design dries. This makes it easier to outline the design with the glue without any salt getting in the way.
