Nice. I stuck them on myself in my room and I still remember years later when we were selling the house, the painter swearing under his breath when trying to remove them to prep the house.

I had them too but our ceilings were stucco so they never quite actually stuck fully. Sometimes there'd be a "shooting star" which was of course just one falling from the ceiling! Good times!

True! Although I have to admit that it was annoying that they curved since they weren't on a flat surface. I suppose that's just being nitpicky but I wanted them nice and neat!

Ah, the terror of hearing the hardened sticky putty suddenly POP in the middle of the night and having a plastic star fall on you in the dark. I remember it well. 😂🌠

Some of us are pre-putty days. They were they really hard plastic stickers that stick like super glue to the ceiling.

Oh the sticker stars? I always had the plastic ones.

I got glow in the dark paint and did my own ceiling. It was that popcorn texture and the paint was a slight green, so even if you knew they were there it was hard to see them with the light on. But I sure enjoyed them at night with the lights off.
