Grossest Art and Craft Ever!

Last week, we started a mountain glitter globe craft. It turned to be a disaster as we used a bad type of clay and used extremely horrible acrylic paint that is not waterproof.


First, we got a glass jar and bought a packet of white clay and glitter in the shapes of moons, suns and stars.
Second, we used the white clay to mould a pair of mountains. Third, we stuck the mountain to the glass jar's cap using super glue. Then, we painted a green, snow capped mountain and added water to the glass jar. 

The mountains I created and painted

After that, we sprinkled the glitter into the transparent jar. 
Lastly, we screwed on the cap, turned the globe around and the mountain glitter globe is done!


Unfortunately, our acrylic paint was not waterproof and when we turned our globe around, all the green paint came out. 

The water became very cloudy. Even grosser, the clay mountain became extremely slimy and disgusting. It was so slippery that it would slip off your hand if you hold it.


Compared to the other crafts we did, this was the grossest craft that we did!
