If your child is a fan of the Star Darlings book collection, they will love these Star Darlings DIY Mason Jar Night Lights!! Even if they are not fans of the Star Darlings books, you can seriously have fun with these Mason Jar Night Lights! Have fun, get creative, and make them your own.
My kids are pumped about having a new bedroom and finally living in a country where they can ride their go-carts and horses and just be kids. I wonder if those Star Darlings had anything to do with it. You do know they are the ones responsible for making wishes come true, especially “Wishes for a New Year!”. The Star Darlings series is all about the power of wishes. What are your family’s wishes for 2016? If you could grant a wish to anyone, who would it be for, and what would it be? Mine would have been my kids wish for the New Year, and I’m thrilled everything worked out so quickly. Life is good, and thanks to the Star Darlings, their wishes really do come true.
DIY Star Darlings Mason Jar Night Lights
For the DIY Star Darling Mason Jar Night Lights project, you’re going to need:
- Mason Jars
- Spraypaint (pink, yellow, purple, blue, white and glitter are what I used)
- Star Darling: A Wisher’s Guide to Starland (for inspiration)
- Solar tea lights candles
Okay, let’s break out the spray paint and glitter and have some fun with this DIY Star Darling Scarlet Mason Jar Night Lights projects:
Follow the below instructions to create your own mason jar night lights.
- Making the mason jar’s sparkle with glitter spray paint.
Using the glitter spray paint, spray one or two coats on the inside of the mason jar. Allow the spray paint to dry between coats.
- Adding color to the mason jars with spray paint.
Next, give the inside of the mason jar a light coat of color and allow it to dry.
- TIP
If needed, you can apply another thin layer of color. Just keep in mind to work with thin coats so the paint doesn’t run because you can see everywhere the paint runs at night when the light is on.
I made one night light for each book I received from Disney Press. I didn’t plan on making that many, but it was just so much fun to make them. Loving these types of projects; they always turn out so well, and I just know the girls will love them.
The Scarlet Mason Jar Night Lights is one of my personal favorites. I just love the glitter and pink, two of my favorite things.
Scarlet is a little different than the other Star Darlings, but that doesn’t mean she isn’t confident, extremely independent, and able to recognize the things she needs to work on.
Leona is a confident Star Darling, and she wants to be a glittering pop star. She shines when she is in the spotlight.
I know I said the first one was my favorite, but I’m having second thoughts, lol. What can I say? I love glitter, and the Star Darling Vega Mason Jar Night Light is beautiful!
Vega is the brightest Star Darling in school, but only because she works harder than any other Star Darling in school.
The Libby Mason Jar Night Light is beautiful too. I love how bright it is, but I’m still not sure which kid will get which nightlight. I am starting to think I had better pick because they’re likely going to argue.
Growing up in a wealthy family, Libby has gotten everything she wanted, but somewhere along the lines, she managed to find joy in helping others around her.
The Disney Star Darlings launched in the fall of 2015 and are a stellar original property for tweens that answers the question of where wishes come from. Star Darlings features a diverse variety of star-charmed girls who encourage and help others fulfill their heartfelt wishes and complete special training. They have granted wishes as far back as anyone can remember, but with a new crisis brewing, the girls will soon be venturing to the plant earth, where they will work together, show courage, ingenuity, and, of course, a little humor while they share their adventure with you.
The Star Darling book series is aimed at kids 8 to 12 years of age and is by Ahmet Zappa and Shana Muldoon Zappa. There are currently five books in the Star Darlings Book Series, which are:
- Book 1: Sage and the Journey to Wishworld
- Book 2: Libby and the Class Election
- Book 3: Leona’s Unlucky Mission
- Book 5: Vega and the Fashion Disaster
- Book 6: Scarlet Discovers True Strength
- A Wisher’s Guide to Starland
My kids love it, and if you have girls or know someone who does, I’m going to bet they will like it as well.
Vayda is currently reading the first book, Sae and the Journey to Wishworld and A Wishers Guide to Starland, because it introduces the Starlings and the positive energy-powered world that they live in. The book is filled with 176 pages of information about the Star Darlings and the world in which they live. Now and then I’ll look at this book, and before I know it, I’m reading up on different characters, lol.
We also made some pretty neato Star Darling Cake Pops you might want to check out.
