Invincible Star Gamer Hooks!

We are in the middle of a little redecorating and decluttering of the boys' room.  After 4 years in this house they decided it was time for something new.  They want Super Mario which is fine with me being a child of the 80's and all.  The room is far from complete, but I do have a project I would like to share with you in the meantime.

We found these great wooden star hangers at Hobby Lobby which seemed perfect to me and the kids loved the idea of painting them themselves. 


What would make kids love this more?  Glow-in-the-dark paint of course!  This is what we used.  It can be used on fabric or mixed up to 25% with craft paint, so there are tons of fun options of things to make with this stuff!


This was a great opportunity for me to teach the kids how to paint, and not a single drop ended up on their clothes!


Now we have these great little star hooks to hang on their wall.  They have decided it would be a great place to hang their Nintendo DS game cases and that sounds like an awesome idea to me!!  Maybe I will spend less time having to help them track them down before we hit the road next time.

    I am loving these, my grandsons would love to help me make them. I do believe I will stop by Hobby Lobby so I can have them when I see them again. I need to learn to make the little eyes ( I am not talented but always try:) Just dropping in from Practically Functional to check out our stars:) I would also love to invite you to share these (or any of your other posts) at Freedom Fridays Blog Hop. So hoping to see you there and these little stars (all four of them, Lol. Super cute kiddos you have)
