Make a Glow Bug Night Light

My little grandson is really struggling with his Daddy being gone.  Going to sleep is the last thing he wants to do.  I came across this idea on Pintrest (of course) and you can see their version here:  http://matsutakeblog.blogspot.com/2012/04/reminder-dont-throw-out-those-plastic.html#!/2012/04/reminder-dont-throw-out-those-plastic.html. No tutorial, just a picture.  So I decided to give them a try, for he is a BOY and loves BUGS.  Hopefully I can convince him that he should go to bed when Glow Bugs go to bed.  Well it’s worth a shot.

Step 1:

Supplies:
Translucent plastic egg, (left over from last Easter, never throw away left over plastic eggs)
LED tea lights (craft stores, price range from 2 for $3 to $2 each, mine were left over from a wedding a couple of years ago)
½ inch slice from a Pool noodle ($1 each at the Dollar store)
E-6000 or 9001 glue ($4 a tube)
Scissors
Marker
Pipe cleaners (your choice of color, I used2 black and 1 yellow)
7 mm googly eyes ($1 for a couple dozen)
Drill with small drill bit (not shown)
Masking tape

Tape measure or ruler

Plastic page protector

Those are super cute! You could also used those plastic containers you get inside a Kinder Surprise.
