Add extra glow in the dark fun to your party décor with an oh-so-easy party DIY. This tablecloth went perfectly with my son’s glow in the dark themed birthday party! Plus, he had a blast helping. (Lesson learned: make sure your kids wear play clothes because they will get paint on them—especially if you’re doing it right.) Keep reading to find out how to make your own DIY glow in the dark tablecloth decor.

Supplies:

Black tablecloths
Neon paint (I found that Martha Stewart’s brand glowed best. I purchased them at Michaels for about $4 per color.)
