The play of light and shadow using hand-made nightlights

Glass and tin cans can be used not only for their intended purpose for storing products, but also become an excellent material for creating nightlights that cast fancy shadows. Ready to experiment with light and shadow?

“Brilliant” nightlights

Use ordinary glass jars, adding glitter and glycerin or a flickering garland to create charming night lights.

“Crystal” splendor

A glass vase will turn into a nightlight if you add decorative crystals to it that will cast amazing shadows.

Stars in the Bank

Golden stars and a multi-colored garland will turn a frosted glass jar into a stunning nightlight.

Fairy Away

Place the paper fairy in a jar where it will light a spark, creating magic. Such a nightlight will be an ideal solution for a children’s room.

Perforated cans

Using nails, a hammer, and paint, you can turn an ordinary tin can into a great night lamp with perforation.
