Glow-in-the-Dark Lightning Strike Garland

Kai turns 8 today!! His glow in the dark bowling party is this Saturday! I’m planning a lot of fun DIYs for it. I’ll show a few on my blog and a few on Momtastic.com. Stay tuned for more!

I love garland. It adds a festive feel to parties. That’s why I had to make one. I love how the lightning bolt is a sub theme of the party and a nod bowling.

Materials needed:

Neon cardstock

Black cardstock

String

Neon straws

Scissors

Glue

Needle

Mini or regular hole puncher

2 print outs of a lightning bolt in two sizes (http://www.clker.com/clipart-storm-lightning-bolt.html)

Circle cutter (optional)

Tape

Step 1:

Cut out the lightning bolts from the printouts. Use them as a stencil by taping them onto the cardstock. Cut all of the lightning bolts out.

Step 2:

Cut circles using your circle cutter or scissors.

Step 3:

Glue your black lightning bolts onto the circles.

Step 4:

Use your hole puncher to snip holes into the top of the lightning bolts.

Step 5:

Snip your straws.

Step 6:

Thread your string with a needle then thread straws and lightning bolts onto the string.
