This Fairy craft project only needs three things and they are:

You can find these pretty jars on a site called Intimate Weddings and it is an easy project to make yourself. I could easily picture these lovely jars on the tables of an outdoor wedding. It would look like the fairies came to watch over the bride, the groom, and their guests. You will need the following supplies to make this craft:

• A Jar
• 2 Glow Sticks
• Scissors
• Rubber Gloves
• Safety Glasses

When there is a craft and it involves safety glasses I always think of it as a project for an adult. I would hate to see a child get injured because they did not realize the items they were using might be able to harm them.

Put your gloves and safety glasses on. Take one glow stick, put it over the top of the jar and cut it Grab two glow sticks and cut at one end. Shake it into the jar. Now repeat this step with the second glow stick. Swirl it around in the jar. If you see little particles in the jar - be careful. I read on Intimate Weddings that those could actually be glass. Maybe that's why you have to break glow sticks to make them glow, because the glow material is in a glass tube. Just be careful! The Wedding site recommends dumping the particles into your garbage.

Swirl the liquid and let it dry. It should glow in the dark.

To make these very cool fairy jars, or bottles as the case may be, you will need some empty soda bottles with tops, some water, and some glow sticks. Here's the list:

• 1 Soda Bottle W/Cap for each fairy bottle you want to make

• Water to fill each bottle

Take a soda bottle and fill it with water. Crack a light stick or two, put it into the soda bottle, screw on the top and you've made your first fairy jar. Easy as can be!

There are two sets of directions here. The second set of directions to making this jar are a bit more complicated than the others I have found, but it's worth it, don't you think? It actually has you making your own glow formula. That means you don't need the glow sticks. It is a nice looking Fairy jar from Step by Step.

1. For this jar you will need:
