Well, I had a busy weekend, and didn't get alot of crafting done. I did work on these sweet little night lights. I found the tutorial on the internet and decided to give it a try. I absolutely love them.
This is simply a dollar store night light with the shade removed. The bulbs were dipped in silicone and left to dry for 24 hours. I really struggled with this step and this just happens to be my second attempt. I put a little brown oil paint in the silicone to get the brownish color. I added some homespun and a little wooden star. I tied all of it on a distressed and handstamped tag. What 'cha think think they are so freeeeeeekin' cute! I made up five of them and as soon as I can get back to the dollar store, I will make up some more.
I did 20 more of the little jar candles as well. My two newest raggedies are almost done....just need to finish the faces.
Some people put the faces on first. I wait until they have hair and clothing....I kind of think they tell me what they should look like.
Today is cutting day. Time to cut out more items. I was notified this weekend that I was accepted into Little High School Performing Arts craft show. Details below.

ReplyDeleteI have to wait til I "see" my creations personality develop before I add the faces.
LOVE the nightlights.
LOL!Didn't realize I was signed in to Google in my husband's account. Heck, I'm sure he would agree ;-)
