Hi, I'm Ashton, in this Instructable I'll be showing you how to make your own rainbow elephant toothpaste at home!
Supplies
For this project, you will need
1. dish soap
2. hydrogen peroxide (10% works best but less will work)
3. yeast
4. food coloring
5. hot water
6. 7x solo cups (you can use any container but it works better if it's slim)
7. a flat surface with raised edges, e.g: a baking pan
Step 1: First Gather Your Supplies
ok, now it is time to get your supplies.
For this project, you will need:
1. dish soap
2. hydrogen peroxide (10% works best but less will work)
3. yeast
4. food coloring
5. hot water
6. 7x solo cups (you can use any container but it works better if it's slim)
7. a flat surface with raised edges, e.g: a baking pan
Step 2: Arrange Solo Cups and Add Soap
Put your baking pan (or anything with raised sides) and then place 6 solos in the order like those above. then add about 1tsp of dish soap. then move onto next step.
Step 3: Adding Peroxide
Now its time to add peroxide to the solo cups i added 1/4 of peroxide per solo cup.
reminder: 10% works the best but less will work.
Step 4: Food Coloring
Now it is time to add the coloring!
the colors i used were:
10x drops of green
10x drops of red
10x drops of blue
10x drops of yellow
10x drops of purple
10x drops of violet + blue
Add them into their own cups
p.s( for lighter shades add fewer drops and for darker shades add more)
Step 5: Making the Yeast Mixture
Now it is time to make the yeast mixture. get a new solo cup and add 2 cups of hot water and add 5 tablespoons of yeast and mix thoroughly.
Step 6: The Fun Part
Now it is time to add the yeast mixture to the solo cups on the tray! pour 1/6 (a little more than 1/4 cup) into each solo cup quickly. i just poured the mixture over the cups and that worked pretty well.
Step 7: Reaction Time!
Now your solo cups should be overflowing with bubbly colorful fun! at this point, you can mix and play with t!
