DIY Lava Lamp

Supplies:

• empty bottle
• vegetable oil
• food color
• water
• battery operated candle light/lamp
• aspirin or any fizzing tablet (substitute for Alka Seltzer)
• funnel
• Note: if you don't have fizzing tablets salt or baking soda will work as well.

Steps:

1. Pour water filling 1/4 of the bottle. Use a funnel to avoid spilling.

 
2. Add cooking oil. Leave a little space so it does not overflow when tablet is added.

 
3. Add a few drops of your desired food coloring.

4. In my case I put 10 tiny aspirin tablets. But if you use Alka Seltzer 1 tablet will be fine.

 
5. If you're not satisfied with the fizzing effect of aspirin add baking soda or salt.
6. Place the battery operated light behind the bottle or find a glow stick and place it inside the bottle.

 
7. Display it in your room. You can turn off the lights as it can be used as dimlight.
