Glow-in-the-Dark Wicked Eyes
Create the unsettling feeling of being watched by hidden forest creatures with this incredibly simple cardboard tube hack. Collect empty toilet paper or paper towel rolls and cut various shapes of menacing, glowing eyes into the centers. Place a bright, glowing glow stick inside each tube, tape the ends shut, and tuck them deep into your front bushes, hedges, or dark corners of your yard.
As darkness falls, the cardboard tubes disappear into the shadows, leaving only the vibrant, glowing eyes staring out at passersby. This is a fantastic, low-cost way to add a layer of mystery and fun to your outdoor decorations, especially for families with young children who enjoy a playful rather than terrifying scare.
