Preparation

  • Clean and dry your empty bottles thoroughly.

Activation

  • Carefully bend each glow stick until you hear a snap to activate the glow.

Filling

  • Cut the ends of the glow sticks with scissors to release the glowing liquid.
  • Use a funnel to pour the glowing liquid into the bottles if needed.

Optional Step
