Floral Aqua Jar

An upside-down jar with flowers to make

This project is about making an interesting type of floral arrangement. Create a lovely colourful flower display enclosed in water in a jar - like a snowglobe without the snow.! 

 

What you will need

  • A glass jar with a lid (an old jam jar would work just fine). Make sure the lid has a secure fit.
  • Plastercine or blue-tac
  • A toothpick
  • A small selection of flowers and leaves (ask an adult what you can pick)
  • Water

Floral jar in water
Method

  • Take the plastercine or blue-tac and stick this to the inside of the lid.
  • Using a toothpick, poke holes in the plastercine to make it easier to put the flowers into it.
  • Arrange the flowers in the holes.
  • Fill the jar with water.
  • Place the flowers, attached to the inside of the lid, into the jar and screw the lid firmly into place.
  • Tip the jar upside down.


Other Ideas:

  • Add food colouring to the water.
  • Add other decorations to the flower arrangement – for example, an artificial butterfly.


Notice how the flowers look different when looking at them through the water. Enjoy this project!
