So... how does one craft a thank-you for a baby gift that one cannot identify? Seriously. I think it's supposed to be some sort of nightlight, but I truly don't know. It's a glass box with schmutz on the outside (and no, it's not decorative, it looks like there was previously something there that got peeled off) and a tangle of white tree lights on the inside. There's a small hole in the back where the cord comes out to plug it in, and the whole thing has a ginormous bow with a little jewel on top. ~ Non-Mod-Amy, aka Amy of the Lost Ark You are a Bookholder.

Ah, the "I had no idea what to get you but I saw this on a craft blog and it looked easy" gift. I actually think they're really pretty, especially in a frosted glass brick. They're nice for ambient lighting, or to be placed in a bathroom as a nightlight type thing.

uh. if you're not sure if someone will like something, maybe best not to present it to them as a gift. it suggests a certain lack of thoughtfulness. sigh.

Can you take the bow of? It looks to me like it might make a nice low level night light for the nursery ... without the bow. ~ I prefer to live in a country that's small, and old, and where no one would ever have the NERVE to wear a cape in public, whether they could leap tall buildings in a single bound or not. the parrot... ...gets tiresome. the parrot... ...i ate him.

I frankly haven't examined it closely enough to see if the bow can be removed. The trouble is, without the bow, the schmutz on the glass is even more obvious. Also, we've got several nightlight and lowlight options in the nursery already. ~ Non-Mod-Amy, aka Amy of the Lost Ark You are a Bookholder. To prompt, or...LINE! (not to prompt) --not to prompt.

Perhaps try some GooGone to remove the schmutz (assuming, of course, you are interested in making it schmutz-free and semi-presentable)? | |||

Danyellia, good idea on the Goo Gone, I can give that a try. Smaugy, that may well be where it gets consigned to, since I can't imagine ever using it in the nursery! ~ Non-Mod-Amy, aka Amy of the Lost Ark You are a Bookholder. To prompt, or...LINE!
