How to Make It:

- Attach your light to your lid with a glue dot
- Fill your container about ¾ full with Alien Containment Beads
- Add glitter and stir around with the stick
- Insert your alien about halfway down in the jar so it’s not touching the bottom
- Top up with Alien Containment Beads
- Fill the container with water all the way to the top (it should bulge a bit)
