She took it to school and got an A for a great project with top marks for creativity and uniqueness. It turned out fabulous and it was made by a 12 year old!
The result was a stunning rainbow of colors in a beautiful clear gelatin. She also wanted to play around with different tips for the jello flowers and used a different tip for each color. She used liquid food coloring to make the primary colors and then mixed the three colors to get the desired secondary and tertiary colors. Carving out the gelatin helps keep the excess gelatin from running all over the top of the clear gelatin and makes a center for the flowers.įor her assignment, she had to include the primary colors, secondary colors, and the tertiary colors. This helped her make sure each flower was evenly spaced. We use this to clean out the syringes and needles so that the gelatin doesn’t dry and clog the needles.īefore beginning the flowers, she marked 12 places around the gelatin for each flower and carved out a little of the gelatin at each spot. We also put a cup with just water in it in the warm water. This keeps the gelatin at a liquid state giving her time to create the intricate designs and flowers.
We put the colored gelatin in cups in a large saucepan of warm water on low heat on the stove. Click here for the colored gelatin recipe or scroll to the bottom. Second she made the colored gelatin with the three primary colors and a white base.

So of course, my daughter decided to make a color wheel from gelatin with 12 different colored flowers all made with different tips.įirst, she made a clear gelatin base in a vintage jello ring Tupperware mold. The teacher even said they could make it edible. It could as simple as a crayon coloring or as intricate as they wanted to make it. High teacher assigned the class to make a a color wheel.
