Decor try-out at my place.

I got inspired by one lady who decided to organize a party for her daughter and celebrate her birthday in (black-light) style. She had an unfinished basement where she decided to paint a concrete wall with fluorescent paint and she attached many hooks to be able to use some colorful fluorescnet yarn with a geometric design. She also used that yarn to make a net on unfinished ceiling. 

And I got the idea to make such a net. The problem was with those hooks. I could not attach any hooks in my walls or ceiling, so I had to get creative. First I used a fishing line, yet it was too soft and I could not get my desing working. The second try was with a metal wire - almost perfect. I did my net and it was super. Hmmm, I spent 5 hours doing this and I did some pictures. 

But, how to transfer this to a dance hall? And it was a total disaster - I could not recreate net in the dance hall. What a pity. This design was and it is still good for a temporary occasions when there is more time to construct a metal wire frame that would hold the net. All this has to be done in a venue, not moved to it. Surely, if one wishes to have it done for longer time as in a basement or a bar, then sure it could be done with hooks or with a metal wire. So, here it is two versions of a similar project.  Yet, I did not make my pictures during late night testing when it was dark outside and my blacklight was working - i just was too tired to look for a camera at 3:30 in the morning.






Supplies that were already proven to be a good choice to buy!

From time to time, I find some simple decoration piece that is perfect! That is right: inexpensive, simple and it works! The following are my best choices to have when organizing black-light parties.

What to buy, what to use?

There are always choices and decisions to be made and making decor for dances is not an exception. Getting ideas and concepts sometimes originates in my head and many times I browse Internet to see what is going on and what other people already did. Visiting local craft stores let me buy many things and I do make many pictures of things to buy in the future. Here is a collection of stuff I saw and/or bought for my projects. I am about to get more Valentine's gadgets and what to choose?
