How to Paint a Star Ceiling

Came across a site which tries to explain how to do this but never really shows you how. This is what I found and my points below it. Obviously the writer has no experience or has never really done this.

  1. Glow-in-the-dark paint
  2. A strong, sturdy ladder
  3. Latex gloves to protect your hands
  4. Cheap craft paintbrushes
  5. Small bottle of Elmer’s Glue, twist-top cap – clean out glue, fill with paint
  6. Small squeeze bottle with small round hole and tight cap – fill with paint
  7. Roll of blue painter’s tape
  8. Tarp or old bed sheet – not plastic tarping
  9. Blackout curtains to tack over windows (or paint at night)
  10. Electric or battery-operated planetarium toy
  11. Small pen flashlight or flashlight on head strap
  12. Black light bar – not bulb
  13. Extension cords
  14. Old clothes and shoes you don’t mind glowing in the dark

 

  1. Obviously to paint glow in the dark stars, you need to use glow paint
  2. And to reach the ceiling you definitely need a ladder. Good to see that safety is off importance as they recommend a good sturdy one
  3. Would it glow better if we use latex gloves when compared with other gloves?
  4. Now how does one paint stars using cheap craft paint brushes?
  5. So now we have to buy Elmer’s Glue, clean out glue and fill it with paint

and so the list goes on without really explaining or showing how to do this.

OTH, there is The Night Sky Illusion Kit which actually shows you how to paint Glow in the dark stars on any ceiling. You can also paint realistic designs of shooting stars and planets with this kit.
