DIY Glowing Jars: Make Perfect Night Lights!

Friday, January 24, 2014


Assuming that you've got kids you realize that sometimes the dark can get truly startling for them. Make sure they have a night light to help ease them to sleep at night time. This is a perfect approach to make your own glow in the dark night light in whatever color they lean toward! All you need is water, a jar and glow sticks. 

Cautioning: Glow sticks are hazardous and toxic so don't let your kids play with them on their own or  throughout the methodology of making these.


The formula for this glowing jar is: 

1. Discover incredible jars
2. Fill jars with water
3. Purchase a bunch of glow sticks, and deliberately break them! Glow sticks could be harmful and risky. Take the broken glow sticks and blend them into every container. 

These would be astounding for a young boy or young girl's room!

Here's an alternate simple approach to make glowing jars but a more adult variant 


The picture above utilizes highlighter fluid and fake plants/animals. Let the highlighter and water sit overnight and afterward take out the highlighter internal parts out of the water which abandons you with glowing liquid.


These fairy or firefly jars are super simple to make too! Cut open the glow stick and shake it into the jar, include precious stone sparkle and shake everything up...TA DA!

  1. this would be a one time thing. I suggest NOT breaking the glowstick open and simply filling the jar with glass marbles. Put a new glowstick in the middle of the beads each time you use the jar. Still would be $1 a day...kind of pricey

  2. My son's (both grown now) used to do the highlighter method ;) If you ask me, it's pretty damn irresponsible recommending to anyone that they break open incredibly toxic glow sticks!
