Old window turned night light
I found an old window I wanted to paint and make into a night light for my bedroom.

• 

This is the before picture, very dirty, one pane was broken so I ended up removing it and gluing in a piece of heavy clear plastic I had

• 

I did sand the wood on the window pane with a fine sand paper and wiped it down well with a damp rag and sealed with one coat of water based poly. This picture shows a stain press I did using unicorn spit. ( done on the back side of the glass) I wiped it down with alcohol first then spread a light coat of mod podge over the glass, after that dried I squirted some unicorn spit, I used a red on the bottom area then purple, blue, zia teal and a little white. I did go lighter as I neared the top. Then I sprayed just a little misting of water over the glass and unicorn spit, placed some clear plastic over it, sprayed that with a light spray of water then used my fingers to move the colors around and to blend them a little too until I got what I liked then pulled one corner up and just continued all the way across. After it was dry I sprayed it with a oil based sealer to set it so it wouldn't rub off or reactivate.

Hubby placed small 1"X 2" square blocks of wood on the back side corners to keep the frame away from the wall and here I placed LED lights all around the edges using regular tacks to hold the wires in place. You could use staples but be very careful not to puncture the wires no matter what you use. I also used picture hanging wire on the back so we could hang it on the wall and it would be sturdy, using the eye hooks that came with it and I used 2 hooks on the wall so it would be more stable and not move or fall.

• 

First of all I cleaned the glass with alcohol then coated with mod podge before painting. (This is the front of the glass) This shows where I drew a tree silhouette along with a hill, some silhouette horses, the other side I made a black painted hill. The, printed a white horse and carefully cut it out, mod podged it onto the glass so the back legs were resting on the black hill. I did seal the front and all the mod podge with a clear water based polyurethane

• 

Here the frame kind of blends in with my bedroom wall but I have the lights turned on and you can see how it lights up the picture, although it isn't perfect, it does make a nice night light and I am putting a timer on it so it will shut off and come on at specific times of the day
