STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Color the pupil, iris and veins on the foam balls to create the eyeballs. Let dry.

2. Place all finished eyeballs into your glass jar.

3. Add just a few drops of food coloring. The more you add, the more opaque it will be.

4. Add glycerin to the jar (about 1/3 of the jar). The more glycerin you add, the longer the glitter will float and spin around. Then add water to fill the rest.

5. Add desired amount of glitter.

6. Use E6000 glue to seal the lid (place on the threads of the jar then twist lid on). Let dry.

7. Shake gently and enjoy!
