Materials Required:
l Newspapers
l Half liter can
l Water
l Enamel paint in several colours
l Small jam jars
Procedure:
This is a good project to do outdoors on a picnic table.
- Spread some newspapers on the table on which you are working.
- Fill a can about ¾ full with water, then dribble different-coloured enamel paints into the can. You do not have to measure the paints exactly.
- Hold a glass jar by the rim and dip it into the water. Remove the jar and set it upside down to dry. You will see beautiful swirls of colour that look like marble designs.
This Is What Happens:
Enamel paints are made with oil and this causes them to float on top of the water. When you dip the jar into the water, the paint sticks to the glass and runs together to form interesting patterns. You might use your new jar to store rubber bands, seeds, paper clips, coins, or crayons.
