That would be cute to do cartoons rather then flowers and use it as a night light in a childs room. Very fun looking project.

I'll have to give this a shot.

They had it attached to one of those clappers.

Clap on.

Clap off.

Cla... you get it.

Also... why paint the back so dark?

You know, the whole "the darker the color the more it absorbs light..."

I'd think for doing a "light box" you would want it to reflect as much light as possible for the greatest illumination potential? (white background)

it's ok...you could have did more to it like a landscape....

I was thinking about making this as a night light for a child as well and I scrolled down and looked at the comments...my reaction:.........Guess I'm not so creative(:......(as in someone else thought of it too)

@St0pTheNoise i guess with a bright background you caouldnt see the "flowers" as good as with a dark one...

the light would have looked beter if you had used a white background inside the lamp. the light would then reflect beter on the way up the window.

I did this project awhile back because it looked very fun and the end result would be really pretty. It caused me some trouble though because I wanted it to match my room, so I spray painted the back panel light blue. When I had already nailed the back on and everything, I turned the light on and you couldn't see what part of the glass was frosted and what wasn't. I took it apart and repainted the back black & it's very beautiful now. I can see the designs now. SAVE TIME! PAINT THE BACK DARKER!!
