Fairies in a Jar

You'll Need:

-a glowstick (non-toxic is best)
-a mason jar or other lidded container
-some glitter of any color

Cut one end of a glowstick over the jar.

Empty the contents of the glowstick into the jar.

Sprinkle in some glitter.

Screw or clip the lid back on.

Make the "fairies" appear by shaking the jar.

The fairy effect lasts for as long as the glowstick would normally last. This should be at least a few hours.

Have children shake the jars whenever they want the best effect.


*Alternate Method*

Purchase a glass fairy from a craft store or a store where garden ornament are sold

Decorate the bottom of the jar with large stones, moss and leaves.

Hot glue the fairy to a piece of moss or a stone so that in the event of an accidental dropping, the fairy will stay put.

To make a glowing effect at nighttime, you can pour a ring of glowstick around the fairy. This effect works especially if the fairy looks like it's praying or sleeping.
