Artistic Projects with Glow Sticks

A glow stick is a plastic tube containing two chemicals separated by a glass tube. When the stick is bent, the glass tube breaks and combine the two chemicals. The reaction between those chemicals result in producing a glow. You can use desired fluorescent dyes to get colored glow. Using glow sticks is one of the ways of enhancing your enjoyment in parties. They are used for recreational purposes like toys, dancing, and costume accessories. However, you can also make certain artistic projects with glow sticks. Here are some of the ideas for artistic use of glow sticks.

Glow stick sculpture is a unique way of application of glow sticks. Know how to make it. Ask an assistant to hold glow sticks in hands. Now ask the assistant to wave the glow sticks around wildly to capture the imagery of moving lights with photographs. You can use different colored glow sticks of different sizes to get light and dark backgrounds.

The other way of using glow sticks is to make spinning videos. Very impressive dynamic images can be created by spinning and moving quality glow sticks. You can capture the magic feel of glow sticks by filming people dancing with glow sticks. You can also make various sculptures using glow sticks. Connecting different glow sticks to form a ball is one idea.

You can also attach different colored glow sticks to artificial flowers to form glow flowers. Children love to use toys attached with glow sticks. You can use some items available at home to make some toys and add glow sticks to it to enhance their attraction. Thus, the use of glow sticks is not pertained to a limited area. Based on your creative imagination, you can use them in different ways.
