Nightlights to Match Any Home Decor Style

Do your children need a nightlight while they sleep? Mine did when they were smaller, and I still have a nightlight blazing in the bathroom to make it easier for my family to get up in the middle of the night, rather than keeping the light on all night.

1. DIY Three-Minute Nursery Nightlight

These beautiful DIY baby nightlights take just three minutes to make. You may create these for your own nursery or to give as presents during a baby shower. Nightlights in the nursery are a great idea since they don't give out too much light and won't keep the baby awake, but they do give off enough light to see when you need to go in late at night.

2. Cute DIY Book Nightlights

These DIY book nightlights are ideal for parents or anybody who enjoys the written word. This requires a hardcover book, so if you don't have one on hand, try your local thrift shops. They usually offer them for a $1 or less each book. These are incredibly simple to put together and look stunning simply sitting on the dresser with a little light shining through.

3. Pint-Sized Mason Jar Clear Nightlight

I adore this small mason jar lamp. Simply add an LED candle or string lights and put it on some rustic wood. You can even accomplish it with a regular nightlight, which has an easy-to-access on/off button. This would be a simple DIY project, or you could check out the one I found on Etsy. It costs around $20, comes in a number of colors, and just plugs into a normal outlet. Definitely add this to your list of DIY mason jar home decor ideas.

For children, this DIY constellation jar nightlight is ideal. This is a simple DIY project that can be completed using a tiny mason or jelly jar. You just need the jar, a disposable cake pan, some lights, and a few art tools. Make any constellation you desire, or create your own. Kids will like the soothing light it emits and seeing the stars dance on their walls and ceilings at night.

5. A whimsical DIY Motel Sign Nightlight

I like this small nightlight that resembles an old-fashioned hotel sign. This is a really simple DIY nightlight to create, and it fits over a conventional nightlight that costs around a $1 at the $1 Store. You may print the design from your computer on thick craft paper, or use an old postcard if you have one.

6. DIY Cloud Nightlights

These DIY cloud nightlights will be a hit with kids. These nightlights are simple to create and resemble a genuine storm cloud, but without the terrible thunder. To build them, you just need a few supplies, which are really inexpensive. With some batting, a string of lights, and a few paper lanterns, you can create the ideal DIY cloud nightlight.

Alternatively, you might put one of these in the bathroom to light the path when they get up at night. These are incredibly simple to create and gorgeous when done.
