How long will the glow last?

The glow from the glow stick or waterproof LED will vary based on the type you use. Generally, glow sticks last for several hours, while LEDs can last much longer, making them a great option for sustained light.

Can I use different containers?

Absolutely! You can use any clear container, like a glass vase or even a plastic jar, as long as it allows you to see the layers you’ve created.

What if I want a different theme?

You can change the color scheme to fit various themes, such as spooky colors for Halloween or bright pastels for spring. The creativity is all yours!
