Make an Eeri Disorienting Glowing Walkway for Halloween



http://www.BooItYourself.com

In dizzying news tonight---
If you are using black-light for cool glowing stuff…this is a MUST!
Make a glowing walkway!!! What’s particularly wild about this effect is that we are used to walking on dark (non-illuminated) surfaces, so when we introduce a glowing, luminescent walkway, it’s almost like you feel like you’re “hovering” as you walk. You don’t feel “secure” or “grounded!”  It’s a little disorienting. It’s a GREAT feeling to give to your Halloween guests! Keep ‘em a little “off balance."







Get a roll of brown paper from the home center---you'll probably find some in the paint or drop cloth section. This paper is the same kind used to make brown paper bags. We got a thirty foot roll for our long walkway.



Next, get a stack of fluorescent 8.5x11 sheets of paper from the office supply center. You should be able to find a pack with multiple colors if you want many colors. While you're at the office store, also get a can of spray glue---also known as spray mount. Cut the fluorescent sheets in half to make "bricks."


Next lay the bricks...I mean glue each brick in alternating rows on your roll of paper. Just spray the back of each half sheet thoroughly and press it down.  Secure the finished walkway to your sidewalk using duct tape along the sides. People are gonna walk all over you to find out how you did this!
