Winter Nightlight

Materials
a jar of Bonne Maman screen-printed hazelnut and cocoa spread
clear candle gel
gold ornaments (stars - sequins)
a tiny battery-powered LED garland
a 20 x 20cm, 18mm thick wooden board
pencil / ruler / compass
jigsaw
drill with bit (+ hole saw)
chisel
hot glue
small snowflake stickers (or white felt)

Preparation
Step 1:
Heat the candle gel according to the product instructions. Then add the glitter.

Step 2
Insert the golden stars into the still-liquid gel, spreading them out with a wooden pick. Leave to cool until the gel becomes translucent.

Step 3:
Trace a 15cm-diameter circle on the wooden board and cut it out with a jigsaw.

Step 4:
Drill a hole in the center of the wooden disc (to allow the LED string cable to pass through). On the underside of the board, extrude a circle the width of the housing to conceal it (here approx. 6.5cm), as well as the top of the wooden disc to conceal the garland cable (2cm).

Step 5:
Using the chisel, hollow out the location of the garland casing (and on the reverse to conceal the garland wire).

Step 6:
Glue snowflake stickers all around the lid, or draw the star motif with a white felt-tip pen. Wind the garland cable through the hole in the wooden disc, and glue the garland casing to the underside of the base.

Step 7:
Glue the Bonne Maman Pot onto the wooden disc and enjoy the soft, subdued light of your “Winter Nightlight”.
