Christmas night light Bonne Maman

SpreadDecoration
Hard
1 .p
  • A jar of Bonne Maman hazelnut and cocoa spread (screen-printed jar)
  • Transparent candle gel
  • A very small battery-operated LED string light
  • A wooden board measuring 20 x 20 cm and 18 mm thick
  • A pencil / a ruler / a compass
  • A jigsaw
  • A drill with drill bits (+ a hole saw)
  • A wood chisel
  • Hot glue
  • Small snowflake stickers (or a white marker)

Steps

  1. Heat the candle gel following the product instructions. At this stage, add the glitter.
  2. Insert the gold stars into the still-liquid gel, spreading them evenly with the help of a wooden skewer. Let it cool until the gel becomes translucent again.
  3. Draw a 15 cm diameter circle on the wooden board and cut it out using the jigsaw.
  4. Drill a hole in the center of the wooden disc (to allow the LED string light cable to pass through). On the underside of the board, hollow out a circle the width of the battery box to hide it (about 6.5 cm here), and also carve a groove on the top of the wooden disc to hide the string light cable (about 2 cm).
  5. Using the wood chisel, carve out the space for the battery box (and on the back as well to hide the string light wire).
  6. Glue snowflake stickers all around the edge, or draw star patterns with a white marker. Wind the string light cable through the hole in the wooden disc and glue the battery box underneath the base.
  7. Glue the Bonne Maman jar onto the wooden disc and enjoy the soft, warm glow of your Christmas night light.
