{ Homemade Salt Glitter }

The term “glitter” is used lightly here, since it’s NOT traditional glitter. It’s great in a pinch and is just as fun (read: MESSY) as regular glitter. Another upside is that clean-up is a cinch… this glitter doesn’t stick! Lorelai enjoyed making a fun picture this morning with her salt glitter.

Materials:

• Salt
• Food Coloring
• Bowl & Spoon
• Baking Sheet/Pan
• Container to hold the glitter. I used old spice containers.

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350*
2. Determine how much glitter you want to make. I filled one of my cleaned, empty spice shaker halfway with salt, and then poured it into a bowl.
3. Add food coloring and mix until you get your desired color.
4. Pour onto your baking sheet (or in my case, into your baking pan). I recommend only doing one color at a time. TRUST ME, it’s a pain in the behind to get the salt out afterward without mixing it.
5. Put the pan into the oven for 10-15 minutes. You’re just drying up the wet food coloring here.
6. Take out and allow to cool.
7. Scoop out into a container to store. You’re done!
