Our Experience Making This DIY Night Light
This was a sweet little project that I made for my baby’s nursery. I won’t lie, I have forgotten my phone so many times in there and it’s a pain trying to find it, bring in lights, or feeling around in the dark. Plus, this DIY night light has helped me avoid noisy toys on the floor. Noisy toys going off in the middle of the night is the absolute worst. So I hope you like this DIY night light as much as we do and hopefully it is as useful for you as it has been for us.
Nighty night!

Leave a comment: What rubber stamp do you plan on using for your nursery night light?
I love this! I will be making one for my daughter who is expecting. Where do you get the paper with the footprints?
Congratulations, Tam! I couldn’t find that exact footprint scrapbooking paper that was used (it must have sold out). BUT you can totally make your own! I just updated the post with links to pink or blue baby foot stickers (under the supplies list). Just stick them onto sheets of vellum (also linked in the supplies list) and you can make your own baby footprint scrapbooking paper for your DIY nursery lights!
This is such a great idea! It would make for a really unique gift as well!
