Eggcellent Night Light!

Step 4 Finishing Touches

After the base is pretty much all done with the battery pack all snug, it's time to solder the LED light to the wires. The lenth of the wires + LED coming out from the pase should be 1/2in to 1in long. The closer the LED light is to the base, the more even the light would be in the egg.

Now for the last thing...*drum roll*....

Place a few beads of hot glue in the center hole to secure the light and wire. Sit the egg on top of the tin with the LED light and wires placed in the egg. Hold the egg down for a few minutes to stabilize while the glue dries.

..and voila! Your own totally eggcellent pagan-esque night light! Or give it to a friend as a wanky artsy fartsy housewarming present!


PS. The photographs don't show the eerie bluish glow of the egg caused by the natural lining of the egg. It's quite exquisite. Nature's cool!

PPS. If the egg breaks or has an unsightly crack, don't fear, just break it off and glue another hollowed egg.

thats a great idea, but if you bump into it or it falls, then you have to struggle to hollow out another egg

love it, but wont the egg shell slowly decompose? shouldnt you add some sort of sealant or wax to keep it from doing so?
