Creating a Fairy Night Light

Originally I saw this enchanting fairy jar on Etsy by CJSDesignsandApparel and immediately thought of a couple special little girls that would adore this. I absolutely love the color and the fairy selection but I have always been that girl who just has to figure it out and create it myself!! Please tell me I am not the only one!?!

Keep reading to see how I created my own fairy jar night light and see how it turned out.

Fortunately I had already owned a Cricut Maker, as I was hoping to create personalized jewelry tags however intimidation set in and I never started😳 Well the time has come and I decided to just GO FOR IT!! I mean really what's the worst that could happen? Failed attempt? So my first attempt with my Maker will be a vinyl project. Voila...my fairy jar night light was in the works AND I finally overcame my crazy apprehension🙄

I searched design space for a perfect fairy cutout however I ended up using one I found from Scotties Designs and best of all...it was free!

I am currently recreating an in depth video but for now I am listing supplies and my step by step below.

You will need the following:

• Fairy vinyl decals or your choice 
• modge podge
• tissue paper (white will give you a more visible vinyl image)
• battery operated fairy light
• I also used a fairy doll for the topper as well as some beads and charms
• I used various markers to give some additional color. fabric, paint pens and sharpies- whatever you have on hand will work. 

*Something I learned on my first attempt at vinyl cutting, there is a trick at getting the letters together. 

Directions:

• Hold jar from the open end and wipe down outside with alcohol -to free from any oil or residue
• Place decals on jar as you wish
• cut a piece of tissue paper to fit the outside of jar  (from edge of rim to bottom of jar)
• hold jar again from the open edge - lightly paint outside of jar with the the modge podge and carefully lay on your piece of tissue paper.  If you have a little hole, don't fret you can touch it up with tissue paper remember less is better to keep your image.  
• After drying at least overnight I colored in my flowers, grass and star images.
