“Unbelievable DIY Surprise: What This Dad Crafted for His Unborn Baby Will Leave You Speechless!”
After all the strands were pulled through, I had to go back and glue every. single. strand. in place. The worst was trying to squeeze where the roof meets the edge of the house. And the nails from the roof. Make sure you are up to date on your tetanus shots.
I sprayed the ceiling using an portable Wagner paint sprayer. After two coats, I trimmed all the strands, leaving about 3-4mm of excess sticking out. The excess is so if I ever want to paint the ceiling again, I can just snip the painted end of the string off and the light will shine again. It would look better to snip it flush, but then I don’t think you could repaint the ceiling…
Lights on.
Lights off. Total count, 596 stars. I broke 4 strands in the process.
Total, I estimate this project took about 40 hours. It was the best/worst idea I ever had for this nursery. It was really tedious; especially because I did it by myself.
How awesome is that. My dad just put glow in the dark star stickers on my ceiling, which I loved. So I can only imagine the great memories this will create for his son in the coming years. Source Share this amazing starry nursery with your friends.
