DIY Lightsabers #StarWars

This post may contain affiliate links. Please see my disclosure policy HERE 

A very simple way to make a fun lightsaber for a party or event is to use glow sticks. We used the thicker styrofoam glow stick for my daughter's recent Star Wars themed birthday party- read about the entire party ---> HERE.

The lightsabers will light up as long as the glow stick lasts. 

Materials needed:

• Glow Stick- we prefer the thicker and longer ones
• Silver tape
• Black marker
• Silver nail polish 

STEP 1:

Carefully remove the glow stick from the package to make sure that you do not ignite the glow stick. 


STEP 2: 

Add strips of silver tape as you would like at one end of the glow stick. I used 2 strips and then my kids asked to make some a bit differently to look like different Star Wars characters hilts.

STEP 3:

Use the black marker to decorate the silver tape. My kids did all of this step!

STEP 4:

Paint the end of the hilt with silver nail polish.

STEP 5:

PLAY!
