Pirate Nightlight

Before we start this tutorial, we just want to say thanks to all of you who participated in our first Saturday Spotlight linky party! And if you couldn't make it last week, join us this next Saturday!

Anyways, back to crafting...

So, this is another craft made from practically nothing (which I love). I was drinking a two liter of Pepsi and I got the idea to use the side of the bottle as a night light!

 What you will need:

-Cheap-o night light (one that you can take off the front...mine was Santa) $1

-2 liter soda bottle

-Fabric scraps 

-hot glue gun

-permanent marker

1. Cut out a trapezoid type shape from the plastic bottle to use as the shade.

 2. Print off a picture to trace onto your shade. I chose a non-threatening, non-creepy, very innocent-looking skull and crossbones. 

3. Using some spray adhesive, take your shade outside and spray the front and let set for one minute. Then, place your fabric onto the shade.

4. I also used some strips of fabric to twist and hot glue around the edges to give the shade a more finished look. 

4. I cut out a little connector piece to hook onto the actual light and glued it to the shade. 

There ya have it!
