6. Glow-in-the-Dark “Alien” Jars

These jars look amazing on a nightstand. They use the glow-fluid from a glow stick to create a “speckled” look that resembles captured stars or alien goo.

  • Materials Needed:
    • Clean glass or plastic jar
    • Glow sticks
    • Rubber gloves
    • Fine glitter
  • Steps:
    • Put on gloves and carefully cut open a glow stick (adults only!).
    • Shake the fluid into the jar, letting it drip down the sides.
    • Add a pinch of glitter and shake the jar to coat the inside.
    • Seal the lid tightly.
    • Turn out the lights and watch it glow!

Pro Tip: These only glow for a few hours, so make them right before a sleepover or movie night for the best effect.
