Glue/glitter glue works best, but you could also use corn syrup if that’s all you have. You have to pour it directly in the water without letting it touch the sides of the bottle or the glitter will stick to it.</p> <p>- Water: It can be room temperature if you use regular glue but should be hot (I use boiling water) if glitter glue is used. If the water is not hot enough then the glitter will become clumpy and separate.</p> <p>- Glitter: I use mostly super fine glitter with a little regular sized. I sometimes add sequins, beads, shells, plastic jewels, etc. Glow in the dark glitter looks really cool if you can find it. Less (or even none) is needed with glitter glue bottles</p> <p>-Food coloring: This is optional. Only use one drop or it becomes difficult to see the glitter.</p> <p>- Strong glue or duct tape: This is used to fasten the lid to the container. I like using colored duct tape.</p> <p><strong>Directions</strong></p> <p><strong>- Making a Calm Bottle (clear glue):</strong> Fill the bottle 3/4 of the way full with water. Then add the glue (and shake) and glitter (and shake). I use a funnel for the glitter. The more glue you use, the longer it will take the glitter to fall. I usually use the whole bottle. Add 1 drop of food coloring, if desired, and then glue/tape the lid on.</p> <p><strong>- Making a Calm Bottle (glitter glue):</strong> Instead of clear glue you can use glitter glue. If you go this rout then mix the glitter glue in a bowl with very hot water (I boil the water) before adding it to the bottle. If the water is not hot enough then the glue will clump up and not work. You can add 1 drop of food color and additional glitter is desired.</p> <p><strong>-Using a Calm Bottle:</strong> If you are making this with a client I suggest making it with them, rather than for them. It is fun to make, they can personalize it, it will mean more to them and they will be much more likely to use it. When your client becomes upset, angry, frustrated, anxious, etc., direct them to shake the bottle vigorously as long as they want as an expressive/physical release activity. When they are finished they set the bottle down and watch the glitter fall as they use their favorite coping tool and/or deep breathing exercise.</p> <p><strong>-Other uses:</strong> This is a common coping tool used for people who self-harm and is easily adaptable to many clinical issues. I have also used this as a coping tool + timer for kids who are transitioning into sleeping in their own bed or have trouble focusing and are taking long breaks during homework. It is a highly adaptable to numerous therapeutic goals. You can also make these just because they are awesome and fun to make, or as an art project :)</p> <p>If anyone has any questions feel free to message me</p> </blockquote>http://socialworkin.tumblr.com/post/49710741060http://socialworkin.tumblr.com/post/49710741060Sun, 05 May 2013 12:45:52 -0700artarts and craftskids craftskids projectsfun activitieschildrenglitterself-harmsocial worksocial workertherapytherapistanxietyanger managementpsychologypsychmajorsart therapymswmftchild psychologycraft tutorialdiy & craftsdiydiy tutorialsuicidal ideationpanic attackscraftsglitter jarcalm jar<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/f143cc89a335dbb30b4fcf8b0c5bf348/tumblr_mhp9vee9DH1qavvtlo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://socialworkin.tumblr.com/post/49649955762http://socialworkin.tumblr.com/post/49649955762Sat, 04 May 2013 20:34:00 -0700social worksocial workermswtherapytherapist<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/5189990771345d57d5d047a98e1af521/tumblr_mj80q9go5N1rgolxjo1_500.png"/><br/><br/>http://socialworkin.tumblr.com/post/49649898081http://socialworkin.tumblr.com/post/49649898081Sat, 04 May 2013 20:33:00 -0700mental healthstigmapsychologysocial work<p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://confessionsofabrokegradstudent.tumblr.com/post/47556290986/when-im-carrying-client-charts-to-the-workroom">confessionsofabrokegradstudent</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><img alt="image" src="http://media.tumblr.com/362282ec755d1e25e30f9b27a9538de7/tumblr_inline_ml066nvdN01qz4rgp.gif"/></p> </blockquote>http://socialworkin.tumblr.com/post/49649866450http://socialworkin.tumblr.com/post/49649866450Sat, 04 May 2013 20:33:00 -0700therapist<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/4570d63167948dc52b97ccb6ddfb63b8/tumblr_mjk9mgCpT81r2v9jao1_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/4554e50050bb986c5e375cbf759d5324/tumblr_mjk9mgCpT81r2v9jao2_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/b2b4c584fb34411c297bfd3917faf8b9/tumblr_mjk9mgCpT81r2v9jao6_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/ed2f243adc3752e5d81da19ed6729a8f/tumblr_mjk9mgCpT81r2v9jao3_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/b10977900e30c9230fb9306a97e5fee8/tumblr_mjk9mgCpT81r2v9jao5_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/a7c07cfa0213e06c1f79d4d16bc8e6c3/tumblr_mjk9mgCpT81r2v9jao4_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><blockquote> <p><small><strong>Kuroshio Sea</strong> - Second Largest Aquarium Tank in the World (<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7deClndzQw">x</a>)</small></p> </blockquote>http://socialworkin.tumblr.com/post/49649827316http://socialworkin.tumblr.com/post/49649827316Sat, 04 May 2013 20:32:00 -0700whale sharkaquariumfishoceanwhaleshark
