Glow in the Dark Decor

Another cool idea using Rustoleums Glow in the Dark paint . . paint it on pots and set them around the deck or pool .. they absorb sunlight during the day and glow at night .  You can paint just about anything and put it in your yard.

I'll be sharing some of my pictures of this project soon.

Insert the first one in the centre and work your way out and around until it's completely covered to your satisfaction.  You can either glue the roses in place as you insert them or finish putting them in place then carefully remove one at a time, add glue and insert it back in place.
