Make light balloon yourself

Who wants to have a bit more light for a party in the garden, can achieve a great effect with water balloons, glow sticks and nylon stockings.

This is needed:

  • Water balloon (white)
  • Nylon stocking (white or gray)
  • Micro glow sticks or glow stick bracelets

It looks great when these lights are hung on the branches of a big tree. For the lighting effect glow sticks (glowsticks) are needed. First fill a water balloon with water, fill in several glow sticks and knot the balloon. Put the balloon with the knot down in a nylon stocking. The best is a white transparent stocking. Light gray, too, but please do not use opaque stockings. Keep the stocking as long as possible and hang it in a tree with a thread at the top. The more of these stockings are hung, the more beautiful it looks and the brighter it gets.
