Find out how to Make Your Jack-O’-Lantern Shine Lite-Brite Vivid This Halloween

I beloved my Lite-Brite as a child. There was simply one thing about utilizing these little multicolored pegs to make my very own designs, and it isn’t precisely a secret that youngsters love something that lights up (LED sneakers, anybody?). So how do you mix the old-school enjoyable of Lite-Brite with pumpkin carving?

With a bedazzled jack-o’-lantern, after all.

Jen over on Epbot got here up with this lovely concept that makes use of a foam pumpkin (aka funkin) and glass gems and beads to create a Lite-Brite really feel. She printed out a sample and taped it to the pumpkin, then used a nail to poke holes within the form of the sample.

Once the define was there, she used a Dremel software to carve deep traces into the pumpkin. For the spirals, Jen drilled holes the identical measurement because the gems so they’d match snugly and keep embedded within the pumpkin.

If you wish to make your individual bedazzled pumpkin, you’ll be able to print out an image and even use the tool on Hasbro’s website to create a customized printable Lite-Brite template that you should utilize for steering. You may even purchase a pack of the pegs and use these as a substitute if you wish to make it simpler.
