Paint Glow In The Dark Stars On A Ceiling







Paint Glow in the Dark Stars on a Ceiling


Painting glow-in-the-dark stars on your child's bedroom ceiling is a wonderful way to carry a celestial theme up and over your head. No matter whether your child is into outer space, loves the outdoors or just has a dreamy imagination, this paint application will shine its relaxing glow through the night. Painting glow-in-the-dark stars on the ceiling is an easy project that you can do in a few hours and have it ready for your child to stargaze by bedtime.


Instructions








1. Spray the backs of assorted sized star stencils with stencil adhesive spray. This is a temporary adhesive that will hold the stencil in place while stenciling, and allow it to be removed and repositioned elsewhere. Position the stencils on the ceiling in a scattered arrangement.


2. Pour a small dollop of glow-in-the-dark paint, in the color of your choice, into a small dish. Dip the end of a stencil brush into the paint. Roughly rub the brush bristles into a wadded-up paper towel to remove most of the paint. This allows you to use a dry brush paint application.


3. Dab the brush over each star stencil. Remove the star stencils and rearrange them on the ceiling. Paint and rearrange until the ceiling is covered with stars.


4. Allow the painted stars to absorb the light during the day and they will glow in the dark when the lights are off.
