Glow-in-the-Dark Fireworks Painting

We created these cool fireworks painting with a glow-in-the-dark twist! The ideal art project for celebrations.

To make the firework brushes, we copied an idea from Juggling with Kids and used pipe cleaners – so head on over to her site for more information! We used some neon pipe cleaners (kindly sent to us by craftprojectideas.com), matching the pipe cleaner colors to the glow-in-the dark paint I had.

We created the fireworks on black card for a great contrast. I poured some paint onto plastic plates then we dipped the pipe cleaner brushes into the paint. We made some firework noises while we did it!Glow-in-the-Dark Fireworks Painting

 

I had to dissuade F from using a sweeping movement with the pipe cleaners and make prints instead. After he’d finished painting we shook some neon glitter over the pictures. We used a glitter caddy from craftprojectideas.com but unfortunately they don’t make them any more – they offer their neon glitter in separate shakers now which is probably easier for little hands to manipulate.Glow-in-the-Dark Fireworks Painting

 

After the paint had dried, it was time to see how the glow-in-the-dark effect looked! The best way I know to activate glow-in-the-dark paints is to use a UV Blacklight. The paintings looked fantastic, although for some reason the orange paint didn’t glow as much as the green or yellow.

This would be a great art idea for New Year’s Eve, Fourth of July(US), Guy Fawkes Night (UK), or Canada Day (Canada!).
