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
- Begin by choosing your plastic eggs. Gently wash them and dry them completely.
- Decide on the colors for your fish. Use your paintbrush to apply the base coat, letting it dry fully before adding any additional layers.
- 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.
- Cut out fins from an additional sheet of plastic or paper and attach them securely using glue.
- Once all paint and details are dry, position the LED tea light inside the halved egg. Close the egg gently.
- 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.
