We collected a small pile of glow sticks between us all yesterday. We watched the town lights being switched on by Father Christmas. A lot of the people in the carnival that escorted him through the town handed out glow sticks, sweets, leaflets for events etc.
We came home with about 20 glow sticks.
A quick Google revealed Glow sticks are a bit of an eco disaster. They cant be recycled at all.
Rather than add to landfill i put on my thinking cap of a way to upcycle them into something else.
Taking inspiration from their shape I tried covering them in icord and making them into wreaths to hang on the Christmas tree.
They looked a touch plain so i added some beads and holly leaves cut out from a drinks can.
I think they look rather sweet.
