Assembly Method

A whimsical fairy-tale nightlight made from a battery-operated tea light, clay, and a glass dome jar.

  1. Take a flat battery-operated LED tea light base.
  2. Use red and white air-dry clay to build a cute mushroom cap directly over the flickering flame bulb, poking tiny pinholes in the red cap so light shines through.
  3. Sculpt a tiny smiling face on the mushroom stem.
  4. Glue artificial moss and small clay flowers around the base of the tea light.
  5. Cover the creation with a miniature glass cloche dome or inverted tiny mason jar to complete a magical bed-side nightlight.
