Supplies
- Red, white & blue glow sticks
- Old glass jars, clean & label removed
- Glitter (optional)
- Dish soap (optional)
Directions
Hi, I'm Carissa! I want to help you make healthier choices for your family that are BEAUTIFUL & DELICIOUS - and really work! My life is proof positive that being green doesn't have to be bland or boring! 
OOO... cool! My kids would love this. Thanks for the 4th of July idea!
ReplyDeleteDo you know if a plastic jar would work as well? I'm just concerned about our kids breaking them in the darkness!
ReplyDeleteYes! This works with plastic jars too.
DeleteEr, just a thought, but how is this 'recycling' when you are using single use PLASTIC glow sticks?!
ReplyDeleteI'm recycling the the glass jars I used to make the lanterns.
DeleteI realize this isn't he most super-green craft ever (and if you feel uncomfortable making it, please don't). If you become aware of a re-usable glow stick option please let me know. I'd be delighted to try them.
Put the glow sticks in the freezer after use(when they are still glowing). You can pull them out and recrack them for another nights use.
DeleteThese were a HUGE hit at my craft camp this week! The younger group played with them for at least an hour in the dark!
ReplyDeleteThere is a glow in the dark solution using My Dew I think
ReplyDeleteIf you put used glow sticks in the freezer, you can use them again.
ReplyDeleteSuper cool!
ReplyDeleteHow long will the light last?
ReplyDeleteA few hours. It really depends on the quality of the glow sticks. Some have a 3-4 hour lifespan. Some have a 12 hour life span.
DeleteGrammar Police: The last line should read, "It doesn't get any SIMPLER." Using the phrase "more simple" is grammatically incorrect and awkward. Also, ending a sentence in a preposition is very naughty. Don't!
ReplyDeleteYou don't have many friends, do you? There are many other things to do in life than to troll the internet critiquing people's grammer skills.
DeleteAwe! SOME! Gotta do this immediately!
