Homemade Sun with Clouds Nightlight

So I decided for my next project I was going to piece together something more functional for my little boy.  He is 16 months old so I decided a nightlight would be something he could look at while going to sleep and enjoy.   First I bought the supplies.  The nightlight itself I found on Amazon while searching for lights with cords as opposed to ones that just plug straight into the wall socket.  Once I had the light I found a simple wire coat hanger to bend to use as my bracket for hanging it on the wall and to build the light around.

I needed something to make the light "sunny" so I hit up my local Michael's craft store.  After looking all over I finally found this yellow plastic.  It is the same type of plastic wrap that people stick gift baskets in.

I got to work with some pliers bending the wire into my desired shape.  I was able to use one hanger to loop around the light, bend it back to give some distance to between the light and the wall.  Then a couple loops for the thumbtacks to hold it up and the bend it back to the front to keep the plastic a good distance away from the light to not let it melt.  You'll find a design you like though it does take some trial and error.  Here is what mine turned out like..

Now I needed my sun to go over the wire frame.  I got some posterboard and cut out a sun shape I thought looked nice.  I used the first one as a stencil to make a second as well.  I used posterboard strips and a stapler to connect it to the wire frame.

The film turned out to be pretty thin so I doubled up on it to make it more yellow and stapled it over the first sun.

Finally I took the second sun and colored it with yellow and orange colored pencils and a yellow highlighter to make it colorful for the when it is looked at during the day.  Glued the second colored sun over the first one already connected.  Here is the final sun.

I hung it up in the room being sure to stretch the cord up the wall and turned it on.  It was to bright in the room though so I decided to cut out some simple posterboard clouds.

Here is the final item.  The picture is dark because it is backlit but even with the clouds it is just about perfect in the room now.  I hope you enjoy this idea and thanks for your views.
