- Using Phosphorescent Powder
Choose a glow in the dark powder. You can find glow in the dark, or phosphorescent, powders online or at some craft and art supply stores.

Choose a paint medium. This will be the actual paint that you mix into the phosphorescent powder. If you want your paint to be invisible in light, choose a clear paint, such as an acrylic gel. If you want to see the paint in the light, choose an acrylic or tempera paint in a color you like.

Place your phosphorescent powder in a bowl. You'll want to place 1 part powder to 5 parts paint (or 20% by volume of glow powder to paint medium).

Pour paint into the bowl. Gradually pour your paint medium over the powder in your bowl. Carefully stir the mixture. You can add more paint to achieve a thinner consistency.

Use your paint. Most glow in the dark paints should be used immediately. Depending on your powder/medium combination, your new mix may or may not have shelf life. Therefore only mix what you can use within an hour.

- Using a Highlighter and Water
Open a highlighter and remove the felt. Using a pair of pliers, break open the end of a non-toxic highlighter. Remove the felt strip from the center and discard the plastic highlighter casing.

Run water through the felt. Place a cup or jar in your sink. Slowly run water through the felt strip so that the yellow highlighter liquid runs into your cup. Turn off the water and stop when the felt is white.

Place cornstarch in a bowl. Use 1/2 cup of white cornstarch. This will be the basis for your homemade glow in the dark paint.

Add highlighter water. Carefully pour in 1/2 cup of highlighter water and stir until the cornstarch completely dissolves.

Add food coloring. If you want to change the color of your paint, add a few drops of food coloring and stir. Add more food coloring till you achieve the desired color.

Use your paint and let dry. This paint is pretty runny, so you may want to let it dry and paint on several layers. Extra layers will make the paint glow seem brighter and last longer.

Watch it glow. Turn off all the lights and make sure to close any blinds or shades. Turn on your UV-A blacklight in order to see your paint glow.
