Glow in the Dark Stairs


Doesn't look remotely the same does it? I did everything right, got the glow sticks like it said, cut them open and then poured them onto my stairs and this is the effect it had.  The glow faded right away and what was left were a few spots of glow.  I think you could get this effect by buying glow in the dark paint but then it is paint so it would not come off as easily as a glow stick.  Bummer, the stairs look so cool and would be fun for Halloween.

  1. did you break them and shake them up before cutting them open? That's what activates the "glow" (I learned this the hard way with the glow in the dark bubbles)

  2. I'd also like to add that in the original picture they may have a black light on them, helping with the look of the glow. Which may be why the wall is so light, etc.
