Sparkle and Shine

I tried my hand at making homemade glitter tonight.  The recipe can be found all over the internet, so I won't worry about linking them!  I just mixed 1/4 to 1/3 cup of salt with a few drops of food coloring in a tupperwear container and shook it until they were mixed.  Then I spread each color on some foil and placed on a baking sheet in a 375 degree oven and baked for 10 minutes (this is just to dry out the salt and the food coloring).  So,  with 5 minutes of mixing and shaking and 10 minutes of baking, I've got 6 colors of glitter ready to shake onto my princesses' art work!


Another thought I had - maybe this could be used to teach children how much salt to put on their food since they can see it?  Or maybe for a party?  Hmm...

  1. Does it still have a salt flavor after the moisture from the food coloring and baking? Just wondering. Would be interesting to know.
