Conjure up phosphorescent starry skies with color

With little effort, a starry sky can be conjured up on the wall and ceiling of the children's room. A starry sky is particularly effective if you give it a dark background. If you have painted with a light wall color, you can create a circular background (150 cm diameter) at the top between two walls and the ceiling as follows:

1. Draw small shapes for Stars and dots of various sizes from 1 to 5 cm in diameter on painter's tape. Cut out the shapes with a craft knife or scissors and distribute them as irregularly as possible on the surface that you want to make dark.
2. Now paint with dark paint.
3. After painting, remove the painter's tape when the paint is still damp.
4. After the dark paint has dried, you can paint with luminescent paint.

In small rooms, limit yourself to a corner of the room to create your starry sky so that the room does not appear too dark in normal lighting.
