Fireflies that Never Die

There is nothing quite like chasing fireflies at sunset in the breezy evenings of summer. Do you remember the joy of capturing the magical glowing bugs in empty mason jars? Who can forget the thrill of clapping the lid shut and discovering you actually caught one! It was fun filling jar after jar with glowing beauties. Then, sadly, the inevitable dissapointment when your glowing friends' lights go out.  
Today you can enjoy similar magic killing our insect friends.  Even better, it's incredibly simple.  
All you need is: 

• glowsticks or glow necklaces (Necklaces are recomended because they are easier to cut open.)
• Mason jars and lids
• Diamond glitter
  

*This is NOT a craft for very young or unsupervised children* 

1. Check the glow sticks and make sure they are non-toxic, non-staining is a bonus. Then follow the instructions on the package and "snap" them so they glow
2. Cut open the glow sticks, ensure that you point it away from your face, you do NOT want to get the fluid in your eyes. 
3. Pour all of the contents into a mason jar
4. Add a tablespoon or so of glitter.  To mix it up try using different colors of glitter for different jars. 
5. Securely fasten a lid on the jar and then shake it up.  
6.  Enjoy!
