Since I updated my article on how to make chicken 
wire garden ghosts as Halloween garden decorations with what would be the best glow-in-the-dark paint solution, I see Glow-in-the-Dark Halloween Projects everywhere. Let me share two that inspire me most.

Tutorial How to Make these kind of ‘ Glow in the Dark- Jars
- Step 1: collect some mason jars and other recycled food jars.
- Step 2: get yourself some glow-in-the-dark paint (that works), a brush, some water to clean your brush and/or dilute the paint a bit if needed, a bowl and a clean place to work.
- Step 3: Shake paint jar a bit before opening. Read the instructions, if any. When ready: make a million dots on the inside of your jars and let it dry. That will result in the above design.
- Alternatively, draw simple Halloween shapes on the inside of your jar with the Halloween paint. Not as easy, so keep to simple shapes that don’t need to be too uniform: bats, stars, etc. Ensure that your jar opening is wide enough to pull this one off. Sketch your decorative Halloween design on paper first.
- Step 4: Place jars in the sun, under a lamps, in daylight.
- Step 5: Enjoy your glow in the dark jars throughout the evening.
- This is just my ‘simply put, this is how you do this’- tutorial. To learn more, visit this Panka’s site. Besides in her own native language, the how-to is explained in English too.

2. Glow in the dark Halloween Decorations
No doubt you have seen this featured a few days ago as a link-up party entry. I still love it and want to showcase it some more as it is so easy to make: just cut/carve some shapes, like bats, or devil’s eyes, out of toilet paper rolls – kitchen rolls. Stick in a glow-in-the-dark stick that you can buy at a party shop or craft store. Turn off the light and voila: a toilet paper roll crafts with glow sticks, looking terrifically spooky!!
Instant glow-in-the-dark Halloween display that looks way cool. In sharp contrast with the above glow-the-dark decorating project which literally will take you hours, this glow-in-the-dark Halloween decorations projects will take… say 5 minutes. Gotta love that.
