DIY Alien Nightlight

Thanks to PureCare for sponsoring today’s DIY Alien Nightlight craft and giveaway. All thoughts are my own.

When my family gets a good night sleep, it shows. As parents we have more patience and energy to do fun things.  My kids whine and cry less and get along better when lack of sleep isn’t bringing them down. I’ve been paying closer attention to what makes them fall asleep easier and stay asleep longer to ensure all three of my kids are well rested.  Most recently I purchased black out curtains for their bedroom, switched out their pillows and made this DIY Alien Nightlight from a mason jar. A few changes can really go a long way in helping them feel refreshed in the morning!

DIY Alien Nightlight Supplies

To make this nightlight, I used a mason jar I already had on hand and picked up some vase filler from my local dollar store. The lime green rock was only a dollar and perfect for this project. I used the entire bag for my nightlight.

For the rest of the supplies I turned to Amazon for these glow-in-the dark aliens and bright green paint. While the glow feature adds a really fun element, you can save on costs by using any space or alien theme small toys you already have on hand. A neon green paint would also work well!

DIY Alien Nightlight Directions

Turn your mason jar over on a piece of cardboard or newspaper. Slowly pour your paint in the center until it starts to slide over the sides. The glow in the dark paint I used was a bit thick so I did have to gently tilt the mason jar.

You can stop as soon as you get the look you want over the sides.  You will want to let this dry a minimum of 24 hours. It may be tempting to touch it earlier than that to see if it is dry but I don’t recommend it. (I learned this the hard way.)

Once completely dry, I filled it up with the green rock and aliens and topped it off with a mason jar light.

To get the glow-in-the-dark look you’ll need to store the nightlight near sunlight. The glow in the dark feature will not last all night, but it is definitely fun.  This is what it looks like with no nightlight on, but only lasts for several minutes.

Alternatively, you can use some small fairy lights, like I did with this mermaid light.

Another way to help your child enjoy a more restful slumber is with pillows that are designed especially for them!
