Glow sticks: The classic option
The most common and easy way to make balloons glow is by using glow sticks. You can purchase glow sticks at any party supply store or online.

To make it work, you need to purchase special black light-reactive balloons that will glow under the black light. These balloons are available in various colors and sizes and can be found at party stores or online.
Glow-in-the-dark paint: The creative option
If you want to get creative and make your own unique designs on your balloons, you can use glow-in-the-dark paint. You can find glow-in-the-dark paint at a craft store or online. Be sure to use light-colored balloons to make the paint stand out. You can use a paintbrush or a sponge to apply the paint in any design you like. Let the paint dry completely before inflating the balloon.
LED lights: The high-tech option
If you want to take your glowing balloons to the next level, you can use LED lights. You can find LED lights specifically designed for balloons that come with a small battery and wire attached. You can thread the wire through the balloon before inflating it and then activate the light once the balloon is inflated. These LED lights come in various colors and can be found at party supply stores or online.
