Have you ever seen a candy-filled ornament? With the holiday season, many people are sweet and some are sour like the Grinch, so I have the perfect Sweet and Sour treats to fill up a clear ornament and it then makes it glow in the dark.

GRAB YOUR INGREDIENTS

Use any candy you want like those pictured below, gummy bears, fish, whatever you like and whatever fits inside the ornament opening. Mix up the colors, and enjoy all the different flavors, this is supposed to be a fun project! There are no wrong colors when it comes to creativity. 

I advise buying a few extra bags because you will have small customers that will want to enjoy the tasting party before it all goes together!

Finally, it’s got to be lit, so crack a glow stick ( I buy them in bulk on Amazon)

Bend the glow stick and push it on into the bulb. Super easy to do. 

Doesn’t it look great? This is perfect for decorating a tree when everyone is over and letting it glow. My other idea is to do this to let Santa’s Reindeer find your home on the night of Christmas Eve! Light up a tree outside for ONE night, no electricity required.

  14. ” I buy the materials and create my own holiday project.” What I think that, if you have free time, you can work as your like. Then, you might find good to see your creativity.

  15. Interesting idea! I’m pretty sure that this will be totally sold out to the kids this holiday season. That said, while the glow stick touch is terrific, is it totally safe to mix it directly with Sour Punch? Pardon my ignorance but I was wondering if there would be some sort of chemical reaction here and there between the stick and the candy.

    Otherwise, looks super!

  16. Awesome holiday idea! Is purely sour punch the candy of choice or do you think it’s fine if we go into mix-ins with gummy worms?

    Not that the candy choice matters but I thought I’d ask anyway.

  19. The DIY glow in the dark ornament is very interesting. You deserve an award for your creativity and display ideas for the holiday season.

  20. Wow! I can definitely use this as a decorarion for our Christmas tree! And since it has a glow in the dark stick in it I would not need to put on some christmas lights. Less electrical bill for us, plus the candies in it, less gifts to wrap for the kids dropping by. This DIY ornament is really a great idea for the holliday season.

  21. Your DIYs are always so creative Dana. I love doing DIY projects but reality is always far from expectations. :(. I assume the glow stick loses its glow after some time so there is a need to replace it every now and then.

  22. Kids are going to love this and if you’re feeling generous they can take it home as souvenirs during family gatherings. This is a really creative and fun idea. I wish I thought of it myself!
