Anti-Gravity Galaxy in a Bottle

by 17 Comments

Are you ready for it? We made an ANTI-GRAVITY galaxy in a bottle!!! That’s right, the glitter doesn’t fall down, it actually rises up as it settles. Say, what?! I know. It was pretty cool! Not to mention that it was also totally gorgeous! And peaceful. I’ve been carrying the bottle around for a few days now, shaking it up like a crazy person, and then staring at the amazing galaxy in it as it settles.

This anti-gravity galaxy in a bottle is such a FUN PROJECT to try with the kids! The glitter actually rises to the top, instead of settling to the bottom! So cool and so beautiful to watch!

  1. Hi there,

    I hope you can help me. I’m a freelance journalist writing a piece on craft activities for kids for MailOnline and was hoping to include your anti gravity bottle and use a finished pic.

    Please let me know if you would kindly give permission and how we should credit it, I’m on [email protected]

    Thank you

  8. […] Anti-Gravity Calm Bottle. I’m doing this one with my teens as part of our Eclipse Week Celebration next month. It costs a little more than the others I’ve listed, but not too much. Fill an empty water bottle halfway with baby oil and add some glitter. In a separate container, color water with food coloring until you have your desired shade. Pour the colored water into the bottle and leave about half an inch of space at the top. Put the top on the bottle, seal it up with hot glue or duct tape, and shake. Because of the way that oil mixes with water, the glitter will go up instead of settling to the bottom. Check out the full tutorial here. […]

  13. […] Create a galaxy in a jar. The first time I saw a Galaxy In A Bottle, I bought it right then and there. We’ve used it for our little ones throughout the past decade as a way to calm them down or an alternative to time outs, but I never really thought of it much as a learning experience. Since the whole premise of A Wrinkle In Time is that time and space isn’t necessary a linear path, I used our galaxy jar as a way to explain how matter can move in unpredictable ways while still forming, shifting, separating, and even folding {or wrinkling}. For a great tutorial for making your own galaxy in a bottle, click here. […]
