Garden stools glow in the dark

by Debra Anchors


This exceptional and clever idea was curated from Red Lotus Gardening.  Construct outdoor stools from tree trunks and then paint them with glow paint - instant party lights in your garden or around your fire pit!















Note:  For convenience, I have embedded links into the text that will take you to the products used in this project.

Recycle, upcycle and do it yourself?  Absolutely!  Have you upcycled something unique for your garden from recycled materials?  Please share it with me so I can feature your creation here.

If you enjoy this website, you might like my magazine, Gardening Life.  AND, don’t miss my more traditional gardening website, Gardens Inspired.

I hope you found inspiration today.  Remember to subscribe, so you won't miss a thing!

Until next time -
Debra

  1. How do you get different colors? I can only find plain glow in the dark paint.

    1. Hello Christy, thank you for dropping in!

      I don't know where you are located; we have many choices of color stocked in the hardware stores here in MI. Also, I have a link above to "glow paint", in my post here. The link will take you to a mail-order source for the paint.

      Good luck!

    3. Hi there. Krylon offers a glow paint as does Rustoleum (probably many others, as well). Click on the "glow paint" link above so you can see what it looks like.

  2. Is it a spray or a brush on? I really love this idea

  3. Glow paint is available in both mediums; choose which one to use based on what colors you prefer? Thank you very much for dropping by; please follow me and stop-in again soon. -Debra
