Glow Bracelet Crafts

Glow bracelets can be used for more than just jewelry.

Ever since the glow stick was invented 25 years ago, it has been a party staple at raves and Halloween celebrations. Glow sticks give off an eerie glow and can be fitted into necklaces and bracelets. If you find yourself with excess glow bracelets after a party, don;t just throw them away. Get creative and experiment with glow bracelet crafts.

Photo Frames

Capture the memory of a favorite party in a photo, then frame it with leftover glow bracelets. Any plain photo frame can be transformed when decorated with the bracelets. Simply glue the bracelets along the sides of the frame. If the bracelets were used at the party, they still should retain some of its faint glow, though it will not be as bright as it once was. Add stickers and other materials to the frame to give the photo even more flare.

Welcome Mat

Decorate your house or room with a futuristic theme, and include a glowing mat to welcome visitors to your door. Collect as many glow bracelets or necklaces as you can find and lay them together on a flat surface. The more bracelets you have, the larger the mat. Remove the connectors, or the plastic hooks at the ends. Apply super glue along the length of each glow bracelet and press it against another bracelet. Remove any excess glue with an old rag. Repeat the process until the mat is sufficiently large.

Glowing Vases

Prepare a glowing vase for your next dinner party. Purchase transparent glass vases and glow bracelets in colors that compliment your party decor. Glow bracelets usually come in pink, green or blue colors. When your guests begin arrive, snap the glow bracelets to activate the glow. Connect the ends of the bracelets to form loops around the vases. Your dinner will have a glowing atmosphere of various colors.

Party Decor

Glow bracelets aren't just to accessorize your body; you can use them to decorate your entire home. This type of decor works best for a Halloween party, when many of the house lights will remain off. Just before your guests begin arriving, snap bracelets to cause them to glow. Connect the ends of one bracelet to make a circle. Loop the next bracelet through this circle and connect the ends. Continue this process until you have formed a chain. A chain of glowing bracelets can be hung up around your house for eerie yet festive party decor.
