Star field windows

I wanted to make a set of 'windows' that look out into space for my son's room. They turned out looking well in the daytime and also at night, as all the stars glow in the dark. I used some ultra glow- in-the-dark that I buy online. The stuff really glows. Regular glow in the dark paint will work ,too, just not as long. The effect is great for looking out of your spaceship.

I used
black flannel fabric
White craft paint
Roll of cardboard
Glow inc. ultra green water- based glow paint
Sizes to be determined by the size of the window/s you wish to make

This is really cool! A couple of things that would help someone else reproduce it... Could you put a list of the stuff you need between the Intro and Step 1? For the glow-in-the-dark paint and the roll of cardboard, could you suggest a supplier, or brand name, or whatever? Where did you get yours?

The glow paint is by Glow Inc. They make all kinds of glow paints and other glow products. Well worth the $ in my opinion.They really do make a superior product. Last year I made HP magic wands for every kid in my son's school and I dipped the tips in this stuff and wow , was it cool....The cardboard was in the stuff pile in the studio ... I have seen it in teacher supply shops....
