Rust-Oleum Glow-in-the-Dark Spray Paint – you can get this awesome paint at: Meijer | JOANN | Do It Best
Wood Circles and ovals of various sizes
Rust-Oleum Imagine Chalk Finish Spray Paint in Linen White
Rust-Oleum Imagine Chalk Finish Spray Paint in Charcoal or Glitter Midnight Black Spray Paint
Paint the large wood circles or ovals white, allow to dry. Then spray them with Rust-Oleum Imagine Glow-in-the-Dark paint.
Paint an equal amount of small wood circles black, allow to dry.
Hot glue a length of crafting wire to the back of the large circle so you can attach the eyes to plants.
Hot glue the small black circles to the larger white ones. Make sure do work in pairs and have the black eye center in the same spot on both eyes. Make them look in different directions for added fun.
Attach the eyes to shrubs, potted plants, vines and trees to bring nature to life. They look great in the daytime…
…but even more amazing at night.
This incredible paint works by getting charged but real or artificial light, so it stores up the light and will glow for 3 to 4 hours after dark. You want to use the glow painted items in dark spots for maximum glow show and remember it works best sprayed over white to light colors.
I seriously hope you will grab a few cans of this fun spray paint and have a blast with it. Sometimes it’s the smallest changes that bring the most impact and this one is ridiculously simple to do!
