Autumn came up with a really neat idea today to create cool night lights for the boys tonight. While at the hobby store, she picked up some jars shaped like light bulbs, complete with lids shaped like (made from?) actual bulb screws (and are even capable of being screwed into a light socket, which I don’t recommend unless you want to start a fire). We have around 50 glow bracelets in our house, because every time they’re on sale, Autumn buys a pack or two. Her idea was to cut them open and pour the liquid into the jars so that they glowed in the dark. However, during our trial run, we discovered that the liquid didn’t come out very easily and made a pretty big mess everywhere.<\/p>\n

So, instead, we simply pushed the bracelets down inside the jars and screwed the lids back on tight. It actually turned out pretty cool. The boys put three glow bracelets into each jar. I went ahead and made one with four bracelets and took a couple of pictures of it to share with you all. The whole project cost $8 for 4 night lights ($1.75 a jar and $1.00 for 10 glow bracelets).<\/p>\n
