Put adhesive backed planet decals on your child's ceiling.
Spark imagination in your child's room and make bedtime fun by installing planets on the ceiling. Adding planets to the ceiling of a space themed room will add a final touch of detail, especially when the lights are turned off. Prepare the ceiling for the planets by painting it a dark blue or black in a flat finish. You can purchase adhesive backed decals of the planets that glow in the dark. The planets include Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
Instructions
1. Pour the paint into a roller pan. Roll the roller in the pan to apply paint to it.
2. Paint the ceiling with an even coat of paint. Allow the paint to dry for at least four hours and apply a second coat. Allow the paint to dry 24 to 48 hours.
3. Lay out the planets as you would like them to appear. They appear in the solar system in the following order, nearest to farthest from the sun: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. You could use the light fixture as the sun and orient the planets in orbit around the fixture. Mark the desired location of each planet onto the ceiling with a pencil.
4. Remove the adhesive backing from each planet and place them with the sticky-side against the ceiling at the corresponding pencil marks. Smooth over the surface of the planets with your hands to remove any creases or air pockets.
