We’re going to see Danny Elfman conducting performing (!) Nightmare Before Xmas this weekend - in honor of the occasion I made these mini lanterns with LEDs inside. Earrings for me, necklaces for my non-pierced friends.
They’re sized around the LEDs (self contained tiny units with batteries and switch meant to go inside balloons) and cut from 1/16” plywood, then painted and sealed.
These are terrific! How do you access the switch for the lights?
Those have to be some of the coolest earrings I have ever seen!
Is the switch accessible from the bottom, or are they the kind that once on you cannot turn off, just let the battery die?
:Edited:
(A quick google search later) I am guessing they are the bullet lights, and it looks like they DO have a switch.
Such a creative and beautiful idea!
Thanks!
Yup! The lights are friction fit into a cutout in the bottom piece of the lantern with switch exposed.
That is just too awesome! I love your creativity with this!
Looks great
I love these! I’ve thought of the idea of lighted earrings before but never did anything about it. What fun!
Oooh…those are neat!!
Awesome!
What a great idea! Those are awesome!
These are really cool. This is a clever use of those little bulbs, as well.
If you switched the design to a generic one, they’d probably do well in the catalog!
Thanks! I’d thought about it but it’s not PG (uses 1/16” wood, necessary for something so tiny.)
But I may be able to rejigger for one of the Aura EcoThin acrylics.
Is the PG light ply thin enough?
Wow. Super fun!
So clever, they’re darling!
Great idea!
Sadly not, it’s only a tiny bit thinner than medium PG .
These are fantastic! I love that they illuminate, and the wonderful style, painting, and light. All around win! And I would love to see Danny Elfman conduct. His masterclass was great.
I love these!!! You did a great job with the finish too.
These are just sooo cool!
