DIY Glowing Fairy Jars: Easy & Magical
Looking for a fun and creative craft project that's perfect for any occasion? Look no further than DIY glowing fairy jars! These whimsical little jars are easy to make, and they're sure to add a touch of magic to any room.
What You'll Need:
- Glass jars (any size will do)
- Glow sticks (the kind that you crack to activate)
- Glitter (optional)
- Water
- Scissors
Instructions:
- Clean and dry your glass jars. If you want to add a decorative touch, you can paint the outside of the jars with acrylic paint.
- Cut the glow sticks in half with scissors. Be careful not to cut yourself! The glow stick liquid can stain, so it's best to work over a surface you don't mind getting messy.
- Pour the glow stick liquid into the jars. You can add as much or as little as you like, depending on how bright you want your fairy jars to be.
- Add a sprinkle of glitter to the jars (optional). This will make your fairy jars even more magical!
- Fill the jars with water, leaving a little space at the top. The water will help to dilute the glow stick liquid and make the jars glow more evenly.
- Close the jars tightly with their lids.
Tips and Tricks:
- To make your fairy jars glow even brighter, you can use multiple glow sticks per jar.
- If you want to create a more dramatic effect, you can add a few drops of food coloring to the water before you add the glow stick liquid.
- For a more whimsical look, you can decorate the outside of your jars with glitter glue, sequins, or other embellishments.
- These fairy jars make great gifts for friends and family, or they can be used to decorate your home for parties or holidays.
Safety Precautions:
- Always supervise children when they are working with glow sticks.
- Avoid getting the glow stick liquid on your skin or clothes, as it can stain.
- Do not eat or drink the glow stick liquid.
With just a few simple materials and a little creativity, you can create magical glowing fairy jars that will brighten up any room! Enjoy!
