We collect a beautiful night light at home

Idea # 1 - Starry sky projector

So, the very first version of the luminaire -star projector from a can and a flashlight on batteries. This version of the homemade fit for both the children's room and bedroom. To make a starry sky with your own hands, first prepare the following materials:

• glass jar with a lid( it is desirable to find a jar in the form of a cylinder, rather than the usual "pot-bellied");
• sheet of dense foil;
• flashlight on batteries;
• scissors;
• awl.

The idea is that you must cut the foil in the height of the jar, pierce it over the entire area and put it inside the container. After that, the bank needs to put the included flashlight and homemade starry night light ready, you can turn it on at night and enjoy the atmosphere in the style of "space."

By the way, a very important point - in the night sky, children like to look at the constellations of the Great and Little Dipper. It would be good to hole in the foil these two constellations, so that the homemade projector displayed on the ceiling the most recognizable constellation for the child. To make a space night light more like a real starry sky, you can if you pierce the holes in the foil according to the arrangement of the stars:

There is an easier way to make a starry nightlight in a nursery by yourself - using the most ordinary can. All you need is to clean the surface of the jar from the label, paint it in the right color, and puncture it with an awl. After that, inside the jar, you can either put the included flashlight on the batteries, or even just put the lighted candle. The latter option will create a more romantic atmosphere in the bedroom. The finished night light should look something like the photo:

Idea # 2 - LED light

We recommend to see one more interesting master class with photo examples on assembling a homemade night light from LEDs. In order to make a beautiful lamp in the nursery you must prepare the following materials:

• two transparent plastic tubes of different diameters;
• LEDs of suitable brightness and color;
• large tube;
• glass stones;
• piece of wire;
• adhesive;
• pliers;
• board for LEDs;

So, so that the instruction with the description was understandable for you, we will provide step by step how to make a night lamp from the materials at hand.

1. Use the pliers to bend the ends of the LED bulbs, as shown in the photo.
2. Connect all LEDs with a piece of wire in parallel. Pay attention to the polarity.
3. Connect the two ends of the wire to the finished board.
4. Turn on the executive part of the lamp and check how it works. If the light bulbs will warm up, add a resistor to the circuit.
5. Attach a smaller diameter tube to the one that is larger.
6. Fill in the emptiness with decorative glass beads.
7. Put the LED tube on the tube. If the diameter of the plug is greater than the tube, we recommend to make a seal( it is possible from a leather strap glued inside, as shown in the photo).
8. Turn on the ready-made LED light.

With this simple technology, you can make an LED night light in the nursery with your own hands. As you can see, everything is quite simple and it will not take more than half an hour to create.
