   These are very cute. I also saw some “Yoda the best” valentines that you could also add glow sticks to. 🙂

  This is what we’re doing (Star Wars themed)! I also am considering “you’re the Obi-Wan for me”
  I also saw parents took photos of their child holding a flashlight like a light saber, and attaching the glow stick to look like it’s “onlineing out” of the flashlight…really cute!

  We did the glow sticks last year, and just a heads up that as soon as you insert the glow stick into the valentine, it will start to glow, because you will have to bend it a little. They only glow for a few hours, so don’t make them in advance or they won’t be glowing on Valentine’s Day.

   I love the glow stick valentines. I have bought glow sticks at Target many times and they were 15 for $1. Thanks for the cute ideas, Lina!

   My Michael’s store used to have a 12 pack of the bracelet glowsticks for $1…this would be a great deal! Check by the registers…at least that’s where I found them before.

   Great idea never thought about glow sticks (have done the pencils). Star wars pseudo light saber ideas would be great for boys 🙂 thanks for the thought Laura.

    Anyone have any other wording ideas for the glow sticks. I think it’s such a cute idea. Would love to send them to my daughter’s school but we have a boy that has a crush on her and I don’t want to give him or any other boy the wrong idea.

  I have just boys and was trying to find some ‘boy sayings’. For the glow sticks you could use, “Stick with me, Valentine!”, “You light up my life, Valentine”,

  Little late, but maybe “you brighten up the school” or something? Or you could just do “glow away” if he likes her too much! ( I’m kidding….sort of. Btdt, only with a girl in love with my son.)

  I do not know how the kids in my baby’s class will like them but we made these for her classmates age 18 months-3 years. I only did the one that has xoxo in glitter glue.

  Dollar tree had 32 pack (I think it was 32) of foam and 3 glitter glues in a pack and ribbon rolls all for 1$ each. I got four bracelets per sheet of foam.

    I have also used up candy canes from Christmas to use as a valentine. Put the 2 hooks of the canes together and they form a heart! 🙂

    Aw I love these! We’re high raw vegan so I feel weird giving candy (the kids always have that option though and are allowed to eat whatever they want, but they choose not to) so we usually just find some bracelets or something, but glow sticks are way cooler. We’re eco freaks but every now and then it’s fun to do a little something special.

  We’re fairly health conscious, too – last year we did this type of valentine using honey sticks. They were a hit!

    I’ve been looking for the font that was used for the word “Glow”. Can you share the font you used? This is a great idea. Love it!

    I always buy mine at Walmart on clearance. If you look in the party section the have glow stuff. If the package has a colored boarder it means it’s a seasonal item and will go 90% off. I pick mine up for 10-2 cents all the time.
