Glow in the dark jars

I came across this article on one of my favourite websites - homedzine.co.za.  Glow in the dark glass jars, how cool is that? What's more awesome is they tell you where you can buy the products they use in the projects and its found mostly at builders warehouse (another place i love to browse through)

I showed the article below but for some more awesome ideas, inspiration and researching, check out the homedzine website.  Its jam packed full of things :) i love it!


They may not be bright enough to light up a room, but these glow-in-the-dark glass jars will certainly create an unusual feature. Try them as a centrepiece for an evening meal with friends - they are sure to get conversation flowing!

I think that these jars would make wonderful night lights for young children. They would stay charged-up for enough time for a toddler to fall asleep - and don't require any electricity.



Lissie Ellie uses glow in the dark paint to create these beautiful glow in the dark jars.





1. Dab the inside of your glass jar with spots of glow in the dark paint. The more dots you add the more interesting they become.








2. Let the paint dry and then 'charge' up under a bright light., or even better, charge them up in sunlight.











You will find Rust-Oleum glow in the dark paint at your local Builders Warehouse, or get in touch with www.tilecare.co.za.
Rust-Oleum Specialty Glow In The Dark glows for up to 2 hours. Apply to wood, metal, plaster, masonry or unglazed ceramic. Washes with soap and water.






I don't know about you but i definitely wanna try this out:)

Have a lovely week!

Planning a kids party

I came across some valuable information for mothers out there - planning your kids party

I found this website called greatfun4kidsblog.com, under the tab kids parties there are some great ideas, tutorials and inspiration.

There was a step by step list of things to go through when planning a kids party on the site, I will name the steps but for more detailed information check out greatfun4kidsblog.com.

Step 1
Think of a theme - in my opinion this takes the longest because there are so many themes you could choose from and come up with as well. So take your time when deciding.

Step 2
Let the idea 'ferment'
In other words let the idea toss around in your mind for a while. Don't just jump into something.

Step 3
Coordinate venue and guest list
Getting your guest list first before the venue is important as you can end up with too many people and not enough space and we wouldn't want that.

Step 4
Work out a programme
Its always good to prepare things for kids to do at the party as they can easily get bored. Check out the website for some ideas.

Step 5
Set the atmosphere
Set the area or room or space according to the theme with party decor. It always sets a good and fun time for kids.

Step 6
Send out invitations
In my opinion making the invitation simple is better as it shows everything clearly and don't forget the becessary details like the date, time and place, and dress code (if applicable)

Last but not least - don't sweat the small things. Kids just want an overall fun time. That's all that matters to them.

Enjoy party planning :)
