Description

A delightful DIY project that allows you to create a charming alien nightlight using simple materials. Perfect for adding a whimsical touch to any room!


Ingredients

  • Clear plastic bottle (e.g., soda or water bottle)
  • LED tea light or small LED bulb
  • Acrylic paints (green, purple, or your choice of alien colors)
  • Paintbrushes
  • Black marker or paint pen
  • Scissors
  • Optional: glow-in-the-dark paint

Instructions

  1. Thoroughly wash and dry the clear plastic bottle.
  2. Cut the bottle to create the desired height for your alien.
  3. Apply a base coat of acrylic paint to the outside of the bottle.
  4. Allow the paint to dry completely before adding details.
  5. Draw eyes, a mouth, and other features on your alien using a black marker or paint pen.
  6. Apply glow-in-the-dark paint for a magical effect at night, if desired.
  7. Insert the LED tea light or bulb inside the bottle and secure it.
  8. Make final adjustments to your alien design before finishing.

Notes
