A cheap hotel is as nice as you make it and enjoy the time you have with someone. It sounded like a luxurious hotel to me and it sounded like he made it a good time
your dad reminds me of david wallace from the office, lol leave how it turned out, im planning to do this in the future, but probably without the stencil
You might be able to check at a Lowe's or Home Depot because they might stock specialty paints, like glow in the dark paint, but otherwise I'm not familiar with other brands of glow in the dark paint. Sorry I can't be more help!
Totally doable without the stencil! For this room, the stencil covered the main section, but there were some places along the edges that the stencil didn't reach. So for those spots, I just went along and randomly placed paint dots to fill in the blank areas. I used the stencil because it comes with two big advantages: 1) It's accurate to the night sky. I'm pretty nerdy, so I think it's so cool that it matches the actual stars in the sky. 🤓 2) It can be hard to tell where you've already painted without the stencil. When I did the blank areas that extended beyond the stencil, it was hard to tell if I'd already filled in a section or how dense my star placement was for that section. The stencil takes out that guesswork and keeps the stars even across the whole ceiling. So it's definitely feasible without the stencil, and even with the stencil you might need to "blindly" add stars to sections that extend beyond it. But the stencil does make things easier. Hope this helps!
I haven't tried this, so I can't say for sure, but my gut is saying it might not turn out the best. The paper tends to hang away from the ceiling a little bit when it's hung up, and when using the paint brush you just push the stencil against the ceiling to know where to line up the star holes. But with spray paint, that gap and the force of the spray paint hitting the paper might cause it to shift a bunch and not got crisp, clear stars. Hope this helps! If you do give the stencil and spray paint method a try, I'd love to know how it goes for you.
You might be able to see them a little bit, but not much, with the tv on. They do show up great when the lights are off, and you start to notice more and more as your eyes adjust!
Suggestion: The stencil panels are like 12 feet long...why not just cut them into three 4 foot sections ? So much easier to tape up. And no reason the tape the entire ceiling with the stencils at the same time, tape up the first 2 rows....paint..then add 2 more rows....and on and on.
Not a bad idea! I think the biggest hurdle with cutting the panels smaller is it would make it harder to line them up. Especially since the paint is hard to see once it's on the ceiling. Also it might take a little longer if swapping between taping up panels and painting, since the painting portion goes pretty quick. Then again, hanging up the long panels takes a bit of time, so smaller panels might work out better. Wouldn't hurt to try!
@@fairamir1 Well the whole idea of using the stencil is that the stencil matches the actual position of the stars in the night sky. So if you want just random star placement, then you could skip the stencil completely. But since the whole idea of using the stencil is to accurately match the night sky, not lining things up right would defeat the whole purpose of the stencil :)
Did anyone else skip to the end 🤣
Haha, gotta check out the grand reveal!
Yup, sure did. Didn't get anything there either.
Word up....these people talk too much and no action!
Beaufort my hometown! Beautiful town.
Small world! I always loved visiting that area.
That is so awesome!!! Love you Crafters Autonomous!
Your channel is awesome too keep it up man!
@@kingpalm101 Thanks King Palm!

That trip made for some good memories, that's for sure!
Great video! Love the end result.
Thanks!
This is cool!
Thanks! It's so fun looking up at the ceiling and seeing stars at night.
that looks sooo cute and cool I thought it was the actual night sky! love your videos and the beginning your are so funny and sweet happy crafting!
Thanks! You always leave the sweetest comments. 😊So glad you enjoyed the video!
Looks awsome !!! Im going to do it
Awesome! I'd love to hear how this project goes for you!
So this is what I do. I use push pin type thumb tacks. They work better than tape. You can get the paper tighter up to the ceiling.
This is a great idea! Thank you so much for sharing.

Haha, I can kinda see it! Hope this project goes well for you!
Excelente! Gran trabajo
niceee
Nice
Hey I would love to replicate this, but the exact paint isn't available right now, could you recommend me any other options please?

That looks really good!
Thanks!
This looks amazing, would it be a good idea to do it with out the stencil 🤔

Can you use glow-in-the-dark spraypaint with the stencils?

Hey!! Love this, thinking of doing the same. Can you still see the stars when watching a movie?
You might be able to see them a little bit, but not much, with the tv on. They do show up great when the lights are off, and you start to notice more and more as your eyes adjust!
Hey love do please is it the 12x12 Stencil you used for this video or the 8x8 ?
12'x12' Stencil!
And I think the link for the stencil in the description should pull up the same stencil I use! Hope that helps.

@@CraftersAutonomous You do not need a perfect alignment..they are just dots on a ceiling....would not make a dam bit of
difference...

Too much irrelevant nonsense.
Very irritating video host. Talks too much. I just skipped to the end for final result. Still not impressed.
Sorry you feel that way! I had fun making this video, and it looks really awesome in person.
@@CraftersAutonomous Good for you.
So rude! Didn't your mama ever teach you "If you don't have anything nice to say...." If you don't like it, just move on. No need to be ugly.
@@eb5153 So didn't your mum teach you to mind your own business too?
@@eb5153 And didn't your father teach you, that if its not a good job, make it better by letting it be known that it wasn't in the first place?
