Last year there was a huge popularity in animal figure lights, from monkeys to dogs, flamingoes to rhinos. The simplicity of these lights have been a big hit and this season it’s all about the mouse. These lamps from Graham & Green are very cute, with three different designs to choose from [ sitting, standing and lying ]. The white resin mould holds an LED bulb giving the perfect light for a bedside table or for creating atmosphere in a corner of a room.

We’ve had the cloud light, and now we’ve come across the feather light tutorial from the inventive folks at Crafts on Facebook. 

This simple but very clever ‘make’ using  papermache, a balloon, glue and some paper results in a oh-so-pretty feather ball light for your home. 

You’ll need a little time for the papermache layers and drying time but the feather making is quick and straight forward for an effective result. 

Ensure using a safety bulb that doesn’t heat up when used or instead fill with fairy lights. Even without the light element it’s a super pretty room accessory!
