Description

Create a magical glow-in-the-dark firefly jar that brightens up your space and makes a fantastic gift for all ages.


Ingredients

  • Clear glass jar with a lid
  • Glow-in-the-dark paint or glow sticks
  • Thin paintbrush or small foam brush
  • Supersized craft glitter (optional)
  • Decorative elements (e.g., pebbles, flowers)
  • Water (if using glow sticks)

Instructions

  1. Clean the glass jar thoroughly to remove any dust or fingerprints. Dry it completely before applying any materials.
  2. Using a thin brush, apply a coat of glow-in-the-dark paint to the inside of the jar. Ensure even coverage; the thicker the layer, the more it will glow! Allow paint to dry completely.
  3. If desired, sprinkle supersized glitter or small pebbles inside the jar for added texture. You can also add faux flowers for a more natural look.
  4. If opting for glow sticks, activate them as per instructions. Pour the contents inside the jar, allowing them to float at the top.
  5. Seal the jar with a lid or leave it open for a whimsical touch. Place your firefly jar in a well-lit area for 30 minutes to charge the glow.

Notes

This project is kid-friendly but adult supervision is recommended during paint application.
