How To Make A Star Darlings Galaxy Jar

Inspired by the new Disney Star Darlings book series, these galaxy jars are so much fun! They are easy enough for the kids to make and they double as a calming jar when the kids get upset. They are pretty fun for adults too, I have to admit!

We decided to make two different Star Darlings galaxy jars. The first jar was made up of pink and purple colors and was inspired by the Star Darlings book “Cassie Comes Through”. Disney Star Darlings books are for ages 9-12. Just like real girls, each Star Darling has her own wish that she pursues with full force and determination—and the help of her friends. These shared journeys and experiences provide exceptionally positive examples to inspire tweens to follow their dreams

We also made a green and orange colored galaxy jar that was inspired by Star Darlings “Astra’s Mixed Up Mission”.

Begin by filling your mason jar 1/3 full of water. Then add one color of paint to the water. Just a squeeze will do.

Then add cotton balls to the jar and push them down with a butter knife. Add enough cotton balls until they are filling the bottom of the jar, but still covered in the colored water.

  1. Im going to go with Libby since she is generous and gracious. Cant wait to make the galaxy jars with my kids!

  2. I’m just now learning about this series so I don’t have a favorite character, yet. This Galaxy Jar turned out uber cool too!

  3. These are pretty cool. I love that it’s something my children could do, too. I like to give them freedom when it comes to crafty things, but quite frankly I can’t give total freedom all the time. I definitely could with this though.

  4. What a cute project! I think a Galaxy Jar would be fun to make myself. I like how easy it is to assemble and the effect is very pretty. What girl doesn’t love glitter? 😉

  5. Sage looks cute! These are new to us, but my 2nd grade daughter has been telling me more and more about them. 😉
