Keeping Colored Water from Evaporating


Gold Post Medal for All Time! 969 Posts

A pair of champagne flutes partly full of colored water.I change water in two glasses by the season. Right now they are red and blue. But they seemed to be evaporating really fast. So today, I refilled and re-colored them, and made some plastic disks to sit on top of each.

Keeping Colored Water from Evaporating

 

You just need the right size, in this case, and spice lid. Then came a paper template.

Two circles traced on a clear plastic.

 

Then it was cutting the plastic and placing it on the newly filled glasses.

Now we will see how long it takes. My guess is it will be a lot slower!
N-JOY!

I have many whiskey bottles and wine decanters with lids in my windows. I have them all with orange water- change water every fall. put a few layers of cling wrap over jars and decanters and then screw down the lids.

they still evaporate some, but not as fast and without the cling wrap. have had colored water in containers since the late 60's---- hippie- maybe....

Send us a picture! I also often decorate with reycled bottles and colored water. I got these little square bottles that were sampling a ginger vodka. I think they were on sale. I took a row of these and put them in my small bathroom window. I'd change the colors to match the seasons. I'll have to look for a picture now.
