Main Ingredients

  • 2-4 pieces Glow sticks Depending on jar size
  • 1 piece Clear glass or plastic jars With lids
  • 1 cup Distilled water Recommended for better glow
  • 1 tablespoon Glycerin Optional, for thicker consistency
  • as desired Optional glitter or small decorations Such as beads or sequins

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Ensure your jars are clean and dry. Choose sizes that suit your preference; mason jars work well.
  • If using plastic jars, ensure they are sturdy and can handle the glow sticks.

Mixing

  • Snap the glow sticks to activate them and shake gently to distribute the glow juice evenly.
  • Pour the glow stick liquid into the jar. You may use scissors to cut open the glow sticks to pour the contents, but be cautious as the liquid can stain.
  • Add distilled water to fill the jar, leaving some space at the top.
  • For a thicker consistency, add a splash of glycerin.

Final Assembly

  • If desired, add glitter or small decorations to enhance the visual appeal.
  • Secure the lid on your jar tightly to prevent spills.

Final Steps

  • Find a dark space to display your jar. The light will glow brightly in low light conditions.

Notes

Experiment with different lighting conditions and scents. Use these jars as calming tools or for parties.
