Description

Transform simple plastic eggs into whimsical glowing fish lanterns that add a magical touch to your space.


Ingredients

  • Plastic eggs
  • LED tea lights
  • Acrylic paint in vibrant colors
  • Paintbrushes
  • Scissors
  • Optional: glitter
  • Optional: clear sealant


Instructions

  1. Begin by choosing your plastic eggs. Gently wash them and dry them completely.
  2. Decide on the colors for your fish. Use your paintbrush to apply the base coat, letting it dry fully before adding any additional layers.
  3. Once the base coat is dry, think about adding details. Use a smaller brush to create scales or playful patterns on the egg’s surface.
  4. Cut out fins from an additional sheet of plastic or paper and attach them securely using glue.
  5. Once all paint and details are dry, position the LED tea light inside the halved egg. Close the egg gently.
  6. Finally, find the perfect spot to showcase your glowing fish lantern.

Notes

Experiment with different sizes of plastic eggs and customize the color themes for different seasons.
