None of these decorations were particularly difficult to make or expensive to buy, but they way they reacted under the blacklights gave them a great WOW! factor. I had some AstroBrights paper left over from this project, so I cut that up into confetti to spread on the food table as well. I stretched them out a bit and then taped them to the dining room ceiling for some added color. They come in a package of six, and they respond beautifully to blacklight. My best surprise find were these little neon slinkies from the party favor aisle. I wandered around all three Dollar Trees in town, grabbing up anything that looked like it would glow in the dark or react with blacklights. My kids helped me create several long garlands for the party, and we only used one package of straws. This prevents the yarn from fraying, making threading the beads much easier. I bought a package of neon straws and cut them into 1-2 inch lengths.īefore threading them onto the yarn, I used transparent tape to create an aglet (thanks, Phineas and Ferb for teaching me that word) around the end of the yarn. I had trouble finding streamers that reacted with blacklight, so I decided to make some simple garlands instead. If you draw on the posterboard with a permanent marker, the marker will seem like black negative space against the glowing posterboard. I taped the shapes up around the dining room to add pops of glowing color all around the room. I found a package of neon posterboard shapes at my local Dollar Tree, but you can also use regular neon posterboard and cut it into whatever shapes you would like.

I added a small green glow stick into each white balloon. If you like this spooky sensory bin, check out this Easy Pumpkin Cornmeal Sensory Bin I made for my girls.
