Moon Nightlight

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.

Hang and enjoy. Little one falls asleep each night with this glowing moon to admire.
