The sheer fabric should match the costume. You can use multiple colors for the princess dresses to blend it in as possible. So, for the Elsa costume, we chose a pretty turquoise and for Snow White we used red, yellow, and white. Choose high quality fabric. You don't want it too thin or else it might rip when you push the glow sticks through it.

Cut the fabric into 2 inch strips. Fold the strip in half and sew it together to form a tube. Leave about 1/4 inch edge on the fabric. It will make the next step easier!

The strips will be added to the edges of the costume, or anywhere you want to add glow sticks. Leave the ends open, so that the glow sticks can slide into it. Fold the unfinished edge of the fabric underneath itself and then sew the tube onto the dress.

You might have to sew two cuts of fabric together to make a long tube to go all the way around the bottom of the dress or a cape if you have one. Once you have the fabric tubes sewn on all of the best places, then it is time to have fun!

Here is a picture of what the dresses look like during the day. This is before we add the "magic." If you look closely, you can see the edges are all lined with the fabric tubes.

Crack the glow sticks and shake them to get them nice and bright. We picked colors to match the dresses.

You need about 20 glow sticks per dress. When you are ready to shine, hook the glow sticks together with the little plastic connectors that come with the package and then thread them into the fabric tubes.

Glow sticks typically last about 14-18 hours, so the costumes will glow all night with no problem. Aren't they fun?

You can spruce up the costumes even more with glow stick princess crowns.

These costumes are perfect for Halloween, the kids would certainly be easy to spot with their glowing neon costumes. When the glow sticks lose their light, you can easily slide them out.
