Allow it to dry, then make sure you can remove it with a damp sponge. Some materials and paints may absorb detergent, which would make your masterpiece permanent.

]]> 52996 1 41 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/113111/41.jpg Pick your design Pick your design. Using a pencil, lightly trace an outline of the picture onto your wall.

]]> 52997 2 48 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/113111/48.jpg Prep your detergent Prep your detergent: If it’s a powder, mix it in the bucket with water until you get a paint-like consistency. If you’re working with a thicker liquid detergent, you may want to thin it with water to make it easier to spread.

]]> 52998 3 59 Tip Be sure the detergent contains a “whitener” or “brightener.” This is what makes it glow when exposed to UV rays.

]]> 52999 4 66 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/113111/66.jpg Paint Using your brush, paint the detergent mixture over your pencil marks. After the first coat is completely dry, apply a second coat to fill in any missed spots. Keep a damp sponge on hand to deal with drips and mistakes.

]]> 53000 5 78 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/113111/78.jpg Set up the lights Assemble your black lights—which are also known as UV lights and can be found online—in their fixtures. Plug them into a surge protector, and set them up on either side of your design.

]]> 53001 6 89 Tip Don’t use incandescent UV bulbs. They don’t create enough light to produce a good glow, and they give off enough heat to be considered a fire hazard.

]]> 53002 7 97 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/113111/97.jpg Turn off the light To achieve the most spectacular effect, make the room as dark as possible by drawing the curtains, shutting the door, and turning off the lights.

]]> 53003 8 106 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/113111/106.jpg Revel in your artistry Invite a few friends over, flip on the black lights, and revel in your awesome artistry.

]]> 53004 9 113 Fact Other items that glow when exposed to UV light include petroleum jelly, tonic water, milk, and cat urine.
