Cooking (food) salt, brushes, gouache paints, a funnel and a tall bottle
Instructions
Step 1
The essence of the decoration is that colored salt is used as a filler in a tall glass bottle. First, we will paint the salt, and then we will fill the bottle with it. First you need to create a suitable shade for coloring the salt. Using a palette and gouache paints, create basic shades for the salt layers. Add a little water to the created shade of paint. After stirring, add the colored water to the salt.
Step 2
To mix the colored water with the salt, mash all the salt with a fork, if you wish, you can try it with your hands to speed up the process. Then put the dishes with salt in the oven. Heat the oven to 100 degrees, the salt should be at this temperature for about an hour until it dries completely.
Step 3
After you have taken it out, knead it again with a fork. After that, sift the resulting substance. The smaller the grains are, the more beautiful your decor element will look.
Step 4
Before falling asleep salts of different colors, you should soak it in hot water so that it remains without labels. The inside of the bottle must be completely dry. Now you can start filling in the salt. Pour salt through a funnel, try to pour it in small layers, alternating all colors. Do not shake the bottle.
Step 5
After filling the bottle completely with colored salt, close the lid, which can also be decorated by making an impression of it from a highly salted dough that remains hard for a long time.
