Great Idea to keep the kids entertained and can be used as a
temporary night light!
Things you will need:
- Jars
- Glow in the dark paint
- Paint brushes
- Paper
- Glitter (optional)
- Glue (optional)
Firstly set out an open area and place all of the equipment
in front of you. Next pour out a small amount of the glow in the dark paint
onto the paper ( if you are using several colours keep them separate). Dip your
paintbrush into the paint and starting from the bottom using a dipping motion
start to add small dots around the jar.
Creating small dots around the jar make sure you leave room for other colours (optional). If you are planning on inputting more than one colour make sure you wait until the first set of paint dries as adding extra colour may cause smudging.
Once you have covered the jar and the paint is dry place it in the sunlight for a
minimum of 30 minutes.
Whilst your jar is 'charging up' take the lid and cover with one thin layer of glue and add the glitter.
As soon as the glue has dried tap the lid to remove excess sparkle.
The next step is to put the lid on the jar and place in a dark room and watch as the glowing paint created a firefly effect.
Many people use glow in the glow stick fluid however this is
a temporary solution. Using glow in the dark paint will last forever
