I like to run, i run all the time. But now that it gets dark out at like 5pm, i usually have to cut my runs short(which im not a big fan of) because im not very visable. i know you can buy a vest to wear when running, bit i cant stand it bouncing around. So i decided to make glow in the dark/reflective shoes.

Step 1: Materials

-Running Shoes(preferably white)
-Glow in the dark paint (i got mine from Michael's craft store)
-Paint brush
-Bowl
-2 Sandwitch bags
-Wax paper
-Reflective Tape
-Scissors
-I used a blacklight to test how it looks

Step 2: Paint It On

Squirt some of the paint into the bowl, take your brush and add the paint. You may need more than 1 layer.

**Make sure you let the paint set for atleast 72 hours**

Step 3: Laces

Take a sandwitch bag and put one of the laces inside, then add a good amount of paint.
seal the bag.
Stir the lace and the paint until you think they are mixed enough so that the whole lace is glowing

Step 4: Reflectivizing

Take the reflective tape and cut it into pieces for your designated areas.

Peel the back off the tape and apply it to the shoe, press firmly.

I only put the tape on the outsides of the shoes because there isnt much need for it on the inside, but you can do whatever you want.
