Our gorgeous bright wooden web from @kmartaus

We used the vibrant watercolours from @micador on the web and used the fun salad spinner painted spiders ontop from a few posts back.

We used the awesome paint markers from @lifeofcolour.pens for highlighting rainbows on the timber rainbow.

Halloween potions, galaxy jars, wish jars, unicorn poop jars, mermaid hair jars, gratitude jars!!!! …..

…. endless idea’s for these amazing jars!!!! We found these rad plastic jars @kmartaus Australia.

The cotton balls inside are from supermarkets, any paint can be used, watered down and a skewer or something to poke the cotton balls so they get jammed in that jar and filled up with paint.

You can check out pinterest for idea’s and videos on how to perfect these and our sweet little labels are from @krafterskorneraus and the kids will come up with some clever names of these potions!!! Glitter optional but a must for us!!!!
