Other Instructions
In 3 simple steps you will have your glowstick lantern: o Fill the bottles with water. This just weighs them down so they’re less likely to fall over. The water also makes the glow stick light appear brighter and give off a fuller light. o Get the glow sticks glowing – just bend them until they make a snapping sound and then push it into the bottle and screw on the cap. o Arrange as you like – they make a great edge decoration for pathways or around the front of tents so that you can find yours in the dark.
