Glow Jars

A great way to light up a camp-site or a backyard gathering...

What you need:
  • A glass jar
  • Glow sticks
  • Rubber gloves
  • Scissors
  • Protective eyewear (optional)
  • A piece of tulle (optional).

Directions:
  • If you are using the tulle, cut a piece slightly larger than the jar, and place inside.
  • Put on the rubber gloves for the next step.
  • Crack the glow stick to active the glow material. 
    • Insert the end of the glow stick into the jar and cut the tip. 
      • It’s important to do this step with the glow stick in the jar as to avoid splashing. 
      • There is also a glass vile inside the plastic tube, and that glass breaks when you crack the stick. So best to keep all the tiny glass bits contained within your jar!
  • Stir and shake the cut glow stick around inside your jar. 
    • You will need some patience for this part, as it doesn’t just flow out easily. 
    • In some instances, the glow material may get clogged due to a large piece of glass that didn’t break. 
      • Disposed of these sticks and used a new one, for safety reasons.
  • Once you have the desired amount of glow material in your jar, replace the lid and shake it up
