Monday Made It: ABC Jar & a FREEBIE!

I'm super excited to link up with Tara at 4th Grade Frolics for her Monday Made It linky!  This project has been on my to do list all summer and I finally got it done!

Alphabet Calming Jar

I found an amazing tutorial on Preschool Inspirations.

Here's how I made mine:

I gathered an empty VOSS bottle (the small one is pictured but I used a 850mL bottle), 2 bottles of corn syrup, hot water, uppercase letter beads, and a hot glue gun.

Step 1:

Place the letter beads in the jar.  I got my beads here.

Step 2:

Add corn syrup.  You'll want to use light corn syrup.  

I filled my bottle about 80% of the way full.

Step 3:

Add just a little bit of hot water.

Step 4:

Have your adorable assistant shake it up!

Step 5:

Add more corn syrup until you have the consistency you want.

Once you are happy with it, use the glue gun to seal the lid.

Still with me?

For hanging in there, I've got a FREEBIE for you!
