Introduction: Snow Aliens

About: I like to design and build random things.

This is a quick and fun project to make with snow and glow sticks. I’m not the originator of the idea – similar versions are posted online. Those versions generally have them scattered across an open area like a snowy alien invasion. We didn’t feel like tromping through 2+ feet of snow so these just guard our driveway.

Step 1: ​Tools/Materials

  • Flower Pot (18” diameter, 14” tall)
  • Shovel
  • Snow
  • Glow Sticks

Step 2: Place Snow in Pot

Step 3: Pack Snow

Step 4: Turn Over on Flat Surface and Remove Pot

Step 5: Activate Glow Sticks

Activate glow sticks by bending and shaking. Use included connectors to join the ends of the glow stick.

Step 6: Place Eyes Into Aliens and You Are Done

I promise that they look better than this. I need to learn how to take pictures at night :(
