Instructions
- Prepare Your Workspace: Cover your surface with wax paper or parchment to prevent sticking and lay out plastic lids or clear plastic sheets.
- Add the Glue Base: Fill each plastic lid with a generous amount of clear glue about 0.5 to 1 cm thick, and tilt the lid gently.
- Add Colour: Drop food coloring or liquid watercolours directly onto the glue, using one drop per color section. Optionally, add glitter, sequins, or beads on top.
