A fun and creative DIY activity to make glittery moon rocks using simple ingredients, perfect for crafts with kids or as a cosmic decoration.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups baking soda
- 1/4 cup water
- Gold glitter
- Silver glitter
- Black food coloring
Instructions
- Grab a large plastic bin and mix the baking soda with water. This will be the base of your moon rocks!
- Now, it’s time to add some sparkle! Sprinkle in a generous amount of gold and silver glitter, then stir until it’s beautifully blended.
- Next, add a few drops of black food coloring. If you’re using gel, you’ll get a bolder color. With water-based coloring, start with a small amount to ensure your moon rocks aren’t just plain gray!
- Mix it all together thoroughly, making sure every bit of food coloring is incorporated into the mixture. It should look vibrant!
- Now comes the fun part: mold the mixture with your hands to shape it into rocks. Feel free to press your fingers in to create craters—just like real moon rocks!
- Lastly, let your creations dry overnight, and enjoy the mesmerizing results of your hard work.
Notes
- Feel free to experiment with different colors and glitter types for unique designs!
- This craft is best done in an area that can get messy, so cover surfaces with newspapers or use a plastic tablecloth.
- If you want a different texture, you can add a bit of cornstarch to the mixture.
