To make this DIY lava lamp you will need:
Water
Cooking Oil
Step 1
To begin making your lava lamp, get a clear mason jar and stand it on the table. Clear bottles or vases will also work. Then pour in the water until about a third of the jar in full.
Step 2
Decide which colour you want your lava lamp to be, then pour this colour food colouring into the water. About ten drops of food colouring is usually enough.
Step 3
Fill up the rest of the jar with cooking oil, leaving enough room at the top for bubbles so that they don't spill over the top. Wait for the oil and water to settle and separate before completing the next step.
Step 4
Drop an aka seltzer tablet into the top of the jar, and watch your home made lava lamp come into action!
