6 Glow-in-the-Dark Materials to Try Out in Your Craft Business

Filed Under: Growing Your Business

I’m sure that you are in full swing with your Halloween product making! In my opinion, there’s no better time than Halloween to illuminate up your products with glow-in-the-dark materials. Today, let’s look at what’s available:

Glow-in-the-Dark Heat Transfer Material (HTV)

Products to use on: Clothing including shirts, pants, socks, trick or treat bags.
Where to buy: Happy Crafters has great pricing on glow-in-the-dark HTV. Pricing is about $0.37 an inch at this link. This listing on Amazon costs $0.51 an inch.

Glow-in-the-Dark Inkjet Heat Transfer Paper

Products to use on: If you don’t want to use heat transfer vinyl to make apparel, try out glow-in-the-dark heat transfer paper. Just print on your home computer, and use an iron or heat press to transfer the design.
Where to buy: I used HT glow-in-the-dark transfer paper last year for a personal project and loved it. Pick it up here for $1.50 per 8.5″ by 11″ sheet.

Glow-in-the-Dark Adhesive Vinyl

Products to use on: Hard surfaces. Great for decals, plastic trick or treat containers, foam and real pumpkins, glasses, and tumblers.
Where to buy: H&H Sign Supply has great pricing on glow-in-the-dark adhesive film. It’s $10.50 for 24″ wide priced by the foot. Add $0.10 for custom cuts (like cutting the 24″ width to two 12″ widths).

Glow-in-the-Dark Paint

Products to use on: Wood signs, painted canvas products, or fabric paint for tote or clothes. Whether you choose to paint the entire background with glow-in-the-dark paint for a bold effect, or just the details for a more subtle effect, be sure to try it out! A reader recommended Tulip soft brand with freezer paper to make shirts.
Where to buy: This time of year, big box retailers and craft stores carry several glow-in-the-dark paint brands – don’t forget a coupon! Don’t want to head out of your house? Amazon has several varieties you can see at this link.

Glow-in-the-Dark Sticker Paper

Products to use on: Any paper craft like stationary, cards, banners, planner stickers, and more.
Where to buy: Of all the Silhouette brand materials, the glow-in-the-dark sticker paper is one that I love. (You can use in Cricut, too.) Pick it up at this link.

Glow-in-the-Dark Glitter & Mod Podge

Products to use on: Tumblers, mugs, paper crafts.
Where to buy: Check your local big box craft store with a coupon, or head to this link on Amazon. Personally, I love Martha Stewart’s glow-in-the-dark glitter that you can find here. If you are using Mod Podge to adhere your loose glitter – consider purchasing glow-in-the-dark Mod Podge for extra glow.

*Note: Pricing may change from time of writing.

Psst, wondering about the skull shirt I made in the photo below? It’s so easy: Download the ‘Mexican Skull’ font here (100% free), choose a skull, cut and weed it in glow-in-the-dark heat transfer material, and apply it to your shirt with a heat press.

    You forgot glow-in-the-dark fabric paint. It works great with a freezer paper stencil and can even be layered over another color (or even HTV!). Tulip soft is a great brand, and they also make the more puffy/stiff versions.
