Fun Homemade Valentine : Star Wars Glow Stick Valentine {No candy}

February 8, 2012 by Kaysi 20 Comments

Remember that I’m Scrooge when it comes to Valentine’s Day?  Luckily I’m loving making these Valentines for my boys and I’m starting to enjoy the holiday a little more 🙂

One of my favorite things about having this blog is all of the other bloggers I have found and seeing the amazing talent you all have.  I especially love when I find the prefect Valentine for my 5 year old!!  Megan from Brassy Apple made a light saber with a glow stick and I knew that I wanted to do just that for him!

This was so easy to do and I love how they turned out!  
This is how I made it:
1) I took a picture of my son, holding his light saber.
2) I then put words on picture 
3) I printed the pictures out and then put a slit at the top of the light saber and inserted a glow stick.  
Crack the glow stick and the light saber actually glows, I love it!!
I also found some Star Wars fruit snacks, so my son will give those to his class also.  
Check out these STAR WARS ideas:
