How do you make a calming bottle?

Easy peasy! 

Here are the steps I took to put this sensory bottle together: 

• Open your empty craft bottle (sensory bottle)

• Set it aside.

• Insert warm to hot water in a separate cup and mix hair gel with it. 

• The ratio of hair gel to hot water is 1:7

• Once you have mixed this mixture and it has cooled down a bit, insert into a craft bottle. 

• Halfway of the water entering the craft bottle, include your sequins and then fill the rest of the craft bottle with the remaining mixed hair gel and water. 

• To keep it extra secure, you can use a hot glue gun to shut the top of the craft bottle shut. 

• And, there you have it! A fun gold sequin craft bottle!

Made in minutes!

How do you calm sensory bottles?

The bases that are added within the sensory bottles allow for a calming effect. 

For example, if you are using hair gel mixed with water as we did this time around, it will allow for the gold sequins to flow slowly and smoothly.

This allows for a calming effect and allows for all of the sensory benefits.
