With Halloween right around the corner, we have the perfect DIY to kick off the spooky season. Create a mad scientist display with things you already have around the house and a few items from the dollar store. Two key staples for this project are jars or lab glass, and food coloring. You can put whatever items into the jars to create the creepy effect. Some objects you can add are eyeballs, gummy worms, rubber spiders, vegetables, or pasta! We would also suggest creating a head in the jar!

If you are looking for some lab glass to recreate this display, visit here: https://www.publicsurplus.com/sms/osu,or/browse/cataucs?catid=2305

Upcycle Idea: Turn an old or boring vase into art with just a little paint and baking soda or powder! For one cup of paint, add 1-2 tablespoons of baking powder/soda and mix. You will most likely need a couple coats (but let them dry in between). We used leftover house paint we had, but you can use whatever you have or take a trip to the craft store. Use any old vase you have at home, find one in the thrift store, or buy some from our public surplus site here: https://www.publicsurplus.com/sms/osu,or/browse/cataucs?catid=2705
