Use paint for a more opaque look, or food colouring for a more transparent appearance. White paint will be needed for the white section.

  1. Put some clear hair gel in a mixing bowl and add a little blue paint/food colouring.
  2. Use a spoon to mix the paint and gel together.
  3. Use a funnel to add the mixture into the bottom of the plastic bottle. If you don't have a funnel, add the mixture to a clear plastic sandwich bag and use scissors cut a small hole in the corner to squeeze the mixture out.
  4. Clean out the bowl and repeat with some white paint.
  5. Repeat again with red paint until the bottle is pretty much full.
  6. If the bottle is completely full, the colours will stay more separated for longer. If you want the colours to mix as you move the bottle, leave a gap at the top.
  7. Put the lid on the bottle and get an adult to use the glue gun to stick the lid in place.
