I saw a post from a fellow blogger a while back about these and it looked awesome. So I thought I’d buy some and give it a try in a few different ways. And here’s the final product I came up with:
BEFORE:
These light sensor nightlights were only around a dollar at the local Dollar Mart. The silicone bulbs were running, on sale, $1.19 for 2 at the Peddlers Mall. So I have about a $1.50 in each one, I think. Not a great money maker, but it’s sure fun!
AFTER:
The first batch, I rubbed mod podge all over it with a brush and then sprinkled cinnamon on it to dry. And then repeated until I got enough on it. Then I sealed it with another coat of mod podge and then craft sealer.
I tied some homespun on it and glued on a cute button and that was it.
Hint: Make sure not to get too much cinnamon in the switch area or it will not flick back and forth good.
On the second batch, the black ones, I simply painted them black with craft paint and stenciled on some yellow stars using Heritage stencil paint. A quick coat of sealer to finish off the paint. Then tie on some matching homespun fabric and wa~la. That was all. So very simple!
And they are great because around here you can’t find them ready made anywheres.
Price: Only $3.59 each & found in my Booth #555 at the local Peddlers Mall.
