Now take your jar out and some cotton balls. Take the cotton balls and stretch them out as shown. Then shove them in the jar.

Glitter!

Now take your glitter and sprinkle some on the top of the cotton balls(I used brown glitter)

Pour

Take one of the cups and pour it in slowly, you don't have to put all of it in. In this picture I noticed I needed more cotton balls, so I added more. The cotton balls shrink too so keep that in mind.

Layer

Now repeat those steps but instead use a different color to pour in. Keep doing that ti'll you get to the top.

Finish It

If you want it to look prettier take some star wire and wrap it around the jar cap. Then twist and cut it off it the back! Now it looks even more amazing.
