I saw this on pinterest and instantly thought "baby nightlight!"
Take a blank canvas
Mark your pattern on the back
Poke small holes and then push the light bulbs from a Christmas string of lights through.
Plug in and admire...
I loved the light effect but not the design. Boo. Can't undo the holes.
What to do?
Oh, re-cover it with cool scrapbook paper. I had this paper and it matches the nursery wonderfully - bonus.
I first hot glued the paper along the sides of the canvas.
I then printed off/hand trimmed a crescent moon shape to trace onto the back.
Decisions, lopsided moon or
Straight moon?
Lopsided won:)
Flip canvas over, trace on back. Count your lights and disperse dots along the outline on the back and poke the holes. Then push the lights through.
