The area behind these targets is dark and dirty. Dark.jpgDark.jpg So I went to the craft store and bought some Glittery stick-on sheets and some holographic tape.

HaHa! I agree that this closeup angle makes it look like the inside of a Vatican bathroom... but its not so bad a couple feet away. But foil tape, mirrors, polished metal, are all good ideas too. I'm always looking for useable materials at the dollar stores and craft stores. In fact both of these I got at the Dollar Tree, but I also found them at JoAnns Fabric.

Quoted from insearchofspace:Does the glitter fall off of the paper?

Only when I cut the paper did any glitter fall off, otherwise its on pretty good.

I found a photo where someone had the same idea long before. Here on the bottom compared to mine on the top...Compare_(resized).jpgCompare_(resized).jpg Curiously, where I found this picture was one of Pinside's rotating header background images at the top of this very webpage. haha... every time you navigate between pages the background picture changes. BTW i like the vinyl VacFink has, if it isn't too thick.
