Directions 1. Fill your mason jar about ¾ full with warm water. Warm water helps the glue mix better. 2. Add clear glitter glue until the jar is nearly full, about ¼ of the jar should be glue. 3. Add food coloring if you’d like to tint the water. 4. Stir well until it is fully mixed. 5. Finally, put the lid on and tighten before shaking to test.
