Detroit Red Wings Night Light

Playing With My Marbles

I made this for my niece, a huge Detroit Red Wings Fan.

Things You'll Need

• Glass Container with screw top, I bought mine at Hobby Lobby

• Non-Permanent Marker
• Velum Paper

• Glass & Tile Drill Bit, I used 5/8" Glass & Tile Drill Quad Tip
• Drill
• Fine Grit Sandpaper, I used 220
• Safety Glasses & Leather Gloves
• WD-40, I spray it on the drill bit & glass - as needed.

Process - Drill Hole

• Drill Hole in Jar, using 5/8" Glass & Tile Drill Quad Tip
• Remember your Safety Glasses & Leather Gloves

Process -Placing design inside Jar

• Print your design on velum, one in black & white and one in color.
• Tape the black & white design on the outside of the container, where you want it.
• Put glue on the color design and line it up with the black & white design on inside the container.
• Remove black & white design.
• I used a dry erase marker on the inside of container draw a line around the design, as guide for the marble placement.

Process - Adding Printed Velum under Marbles

Cut out around Marble

Print Design on Velum
Make sure it fits under the Marble

Glue Marble over Design

Trim paper to Marble size                   Put Glue on back of Velum                                      Glue Marble to Jar

Process - Placing Lights inside Jar

• Feed the lights thru the hole, into the Jar.
• The lights will settle into the bottom of the Jar.
• Tie the ribbon around the lights, to hold them up.
• Glue the edges of the ribbon to the top of the Jar.
• Screw the Lid on, plug it in and enjoy.
