Hosting kids’ space camp is an experience both kids and adults will never forget. So why DIY Galaxy Tea Light Holders?

are special, your space camp attendees need to go home with a space-inspired memento.

A special reminder of their camp, that serves as a space camp activity too:

Inspired by the gorgeous colors in the galaxy, I figured it would be fun to involve the kids in some glitter and modge podge fun by making Galaxy Tea Light Holder.

How to make beautiful Galaxy Tealight Holders

Materials required:

A pack of glitter. (We used black, silver, dark blue, light blue, pink, a little red and purple)

Mod Podge

A glass tealight holder

Sponge brushes

A disposable bowl

Parchment paper (To rest the wet tealight holder on)

Wet wipes. (To clean your hands during the process)

Start by mixing the glitter in a bowl or on parchment paper.

Remember there are no fixed measurements for each color.

Our mix had more black, purple, light blue and silver, over the other colors.

Next pour Mod Podge into a bowl and apply a layer of the same on the outer surface of the tealight holder.

While the Mod Podge is still wet, roll it in the glitter, ensuring every area is covered with glitter.

To prevent glitter from falling off later, apply another coat of Mod Podge over the glitter.

And don’t worry, the translucent glue film eventually does become transparent.
