FOOD BAG LED POM-POM LIGHTS Shine a light on upcycling with this project!
MATERIALS
TOOLS
• GLAD Snap Lock® or Zipslide® bags • Two domed clear drink lids • Hanging wire • LED Tea-light • Card stock
• • • •
Hot glue gun Scissors Pliers Pencil
Instructions: STEP 1 Cut your plastic Snap Lock® or Zipslide® bags into 5cm squares.
STEP 2 You will need to cover the hole of one of the domed lids so the tea light doesn’t fall out. Trace the hole onto the cardstock, and then cut it out slightly larger so it fits inside the lid without falling out. Use a few dots of hot glue to hold it in place.
STEP 3 Cut the edge off of the lid that will go on top, and then use hot glue to secure it to the other lid, forming a ball shape.
STEP 4 Wrap each square around a pencil, and use a dot of hot glue to attach it to the dome, starting with the top, and then the bottom.
Design Tip! Cover only the top if you’d like to use the light has a table light.
STEP 5 Use the pliers to cut a 17cm length of the wire. Bend it into a U-shape, and then turn up the ends so it can clip inside the pom-pom.
STEP 6 Place your LED tea light inside, and hang it up in your favorite spot!.
