Coastal Night Light

PROJECT SARA MARTIN | PHOTOGRAPHY TARA CHATTELL

Add coastal charm to any room with a night light made with a seaside treasure.

TOOLS & MATERIALS

Cool-to-the-touch night light with a flat surface

Large shell, starfish or sand dollar

Bleach

Glue gun

Glue sticks

HOW-TO

Using a soft toothbrush, gently remove any debris from your shell, sand dollar or starfish.

Place seaside treasures in a container, cover with water and add two tablespoons of bleach. Leave items submerged until they whiten. If using a starfish, remove after 10 minutes as its colour won’t change much. Remove and let items dry completely.

Decide where you want to position the shell, starfish or sand dollar on the flat surface of the night light. Lift and apply hot glue to the edges that will contact the surface. Place, press and hold while removing any excess glue.

Once adhered, let the glue dry completely. Plug the light into the electrical socket and enjoy. OH
