Did this last year. Will not do it again.

  • Cut out the eyes. I lack creativity and had about 12 rolls, so this got old pretty fast. You need small sharp scissors or knife to do it well, and my Swiss Army knife wasn't doing the best job. Trying to do fancier eyes (in the image, reference the second row on the right) was even uglier.

  • Put in a glowstick. Not bright enough.

  • OK, cap the ends. Except if you've cut the eyes too far apart, you'll have trouble capping the ends without obscuring the cutouts. But only cap one end while prepping, so you can put the glowsticks in on Halloween.

  • Put in two glowsticks? Nope, not bright enough, and they're obviously sitting at the bottom. Could tape one to the top, except the tape might cover part of the cutouts.

  • The pre-capped end has come slightly unstuck. Re-tape it, and cap the other end now that the glowstick(s) are in. Wait. Did I crack that glowstick? Nope. Un-tape. Re-tape.

  • Put it in a bush. Too far back. Place it closer. Now it's lopsided, you can see it's a tube, and it's still not bright enough.

  • Why did I do so many? We only have like three bushes along the sidewalk.

  • I suppose I can hang some from the trees? Except they won't be level, and the slightest breeze spins them.

    It really wasn't worth my effort, especially since we're not on a main street and only get a dozen trick-or-treaters anyway.

    Edit: These (http://www.amazon.com/Darice-VL169-5-Inch---1-25-Inch-2-Piece/dp/B002JQ0BS4/) might work better than glowsticks, plus they blink. Haven't tried them, just guessing.
