DIY Galaxy Night Lamp for $2

Sahana
by Sahana
I came up with this idea of making a galaxy night lamp as we needed a night lamp for our restrooms. Restrooms in our apartment are located in such a way that when someone switches ON the light it directly hits the face of the people sleeping in the bedroom.So, I needed something subtle for the late night trips to the bathrooms. I came across a $1 LED lamp in the dollar store and there was only piece left so I immediately grabbed it, as I don't see this kind of LED lamp in the dollar tree I regularly shop. I wanted something fun instead of a regular night lamp and also I don't want to spend a ton on a $1 lamp which ended up in a Galaxy night lamp using Christmas ornament from the dollar store. Let's see how.


Remove the cover and unwanted parts from the night lamp. I removed a small cap like thing on the top of the LED bulb as I wanted the light to be bright.



Make sure the ornament you are using fits perfectly. The Ornament I am using here is also from the dollar store.(for your reference)



Use markers and color the ornament for making the galaxy ornament.



Use markers and color the ornament randomly with all the galaxy color markers possible. 







For the rest of the steps visit my blog and learn how to complete the lamp.
