These cute night lights would make nice gifts or stocking stuffers. So easy to make that you'll want to make several. A good way to use up all of those short pieces of lace and trim leftover from other projects.
Approximate Time: Approximately 15 minutes
Supplies
- nightlight
- 9 oz. (3 3/4 inch diameter x 2 3/4 inch high) clear plastic cup
- scissors
- hot glue gun and glue sticks
- 7 inch piece of 2 3/4 inch wide wired ribbon
- assorted trims
Instructions
- Use scissors to cut cup in half vertically. (One cup will make two shades.) The bottom of the cup will become the top of the shade.
- Wrap ribbon around cup half and fold ends to inside. If necessary, trim the ribbon ends to about 1/2 inch from side edges of cup.
- Glue ribbon to cup.
- Glue trims along top and bottom edges of shade.
- Glue top of shade to top of night light. Note: The picture shows the style of night light that seems to work best for this project.
