Glow In The Dark Candy Filled Ornament
Have you ever seen a candy-filled ornament?
With the holiday season, many people are sweet and some are sour like the Grinch.
Therefore, I have the perfect Sweet and Sour treats to fill up a clear ornament and it then makes it glow in the dark.
Other times, we just use gummies, or sweet tarts, etc.
The Tulle inside gives it a nice finished look.
Want to design a Feliz Navidad themed fireplace and mantel?
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!
Glow In The Dark Candy-Filled Ornaments
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!
Simply place a few of these on the lawn, and let them glow, so Rudolph can land the sleigh.
Or, on Christmas Eve, light up a tree outside for ONE night, no electricity required.
The glow in the dark ornaments is perfect for holiday parties, church parties, gatherings, and small hostess favors for your guests.
Light up a table before guests arrive, or hang them on the tree.
Make ahead and enjoy the glow of the holidays!

How To Make Glow In The Dark Ornaments Tutorial
DIY Glow In The Dark Candy Filled Ornament
Materials
- 12 Pieces of any candy that fits in the hole of the ornament
- 6 " tulle in white optional
- 1 Clear Ornament I suggest plastic
- a Glow Stick
Instructions
- First get the tulle into the ornament, by taking off the top and placing the tulle in.
- You can use the glow stick to get a little help with the 'pushing in'.
- Next, add the candy you are using into the ornament.
- If you are lighting the bulb now, bend and crack the glow stick to activate.
- However, if you are waiting until everyone arrives, place the glow stick into the ornament without bending (leaving in stick form).
- Once you are ready (before the arrival of guests) bend and activate the glow stick and replace the cap.
- Display on the tree (if not too heavy from candy) or on tables.
- Enjoy! ~Dana XO
