In order to complete this project you'll need:
In order to complete this project you'll need:
- Several Empty/Clean Gallon Milk Jugs
- A Permanent Marker
- Glow Sticks
Permanent Markers can be found virtually anywhere & everywhere for only $1 or less. Mine came in a 2-pack from Dollar General for $1.
Glow Sticks can be found just about anywhere as well. Most general retail stores such as Walmart, Kmart, Target, etc. sell them year-round in their party section. Other retailers such as grocery stores, like Giant Eagle, sell them this time of year in their season aisles for just $1-$2 per package. I purchased a tube of 20 variously colored glow sticks from Dollar Tree for only $1.
Using your permanent marker, draw jack o'lantern faces onto your milk jugs.
Next, fill up your milk jug about 1/2 of the way with water. Then, crack a couple of glow sticks & drop them into the water. The added water helps to reflect the light & glow from the glowsticks to illuminate the jug.
