How do you make glow-in-the-dark hearts for bedroom decor?

Answer 1

Okay for this what you would want to do is buy wooden craft hearts. These also comes in letters, stars, numbers, and many different shapes and sizes. You can simply buy these at Walmart. Then, paint them the color of your room. In my room I have green, dark blue, light blue, and aqua, but use any color you like. It doesn't matter what type of paint it is, it will work. The next thing you will need is glow in the dark paint. DO NOT buy the glow in the dark paint that washes off with water. It doesn't work because every time you wash off your brush it doesn't want to paint. I bought Tulip glow in the dark paint. It has a design tip on the top so it is really easy to draw your design. Once your hearts are dried, paint them with the glow in the dark paint. You can just paint the whole thing or put a design so that is what you will see in the dark when you go to bed. I did designs from checkerboard, smilely face, polka dots, and many others and they are quite awesome in the dark. The next thing you will need is to do is put a string or ribbon on the hearts.Drill a hole and tie your string or ribbon and hang them on your ceiling. For my room I did them differently. I simply hot glued the ribbon onto the back of the hearts and then I tied them onto objects in my room such as, ceiling fan chains, furniture knobs, door knobs, etc. Some of them I even taped onto my walls, Doing this instead of hanging them off my ceiling in a pattern gave them more of a floating-hearts effect. The last thing I would like to tell you is that if you have trouble sleeping at night with light, these won't bother you at all. I know because I have to sleep in a pitch dark room. These have a soft glow to them so they are bright enough to where you can see them, but they aren't to much. Hope this helped :)
