I found this on facebook These crystal balls are crafted from ordinary second-hand and hardware store finds! The glass domes are easily found most second-hand stores for a dollar or two, and candle bases from any garage sale or flea market. The addition of glitter gives the balls a mystical look, and the glow-sticks offer a safe alternative to candles or electricity. The glow sticks will last for 8 to 12 hours depending on temperature and come in assorted colors, but green looks the best.

How To Make glowing crystal ball - halloween craft

  • Step 1
    Clean the glass dome thoroughly and let it dry.
  • Step 2
    Coat the dome with the sparkly acrylic paint using the paint brush and let it dry. You can also use a spray-on sparkle paint. The paint could take up to 48 hours to dry and should not be handled much.
  • Step 3
    Activate a glow stick and place it inside the ball.
  • Step 4
    Place the ball on the candle holder and enjoy.
  • Step 5
    makes a wonderful camping nightlight for the kiddies also. Just put in another glow stick when you need it
