My 9 year old needed a nightlight.

She was in the midst of The Descendents so I simplified the castle (because of time constraints) and built her a "castle" nightlight...

The actual building they use in production is an office building at a college campus in western canada... castlesque?





It's completely made out of hot glue and foam since I wanted something quick and easy to make since it went from concept to gift in 7 days. It has about a half dozen layers of mod podge for "durability."

I wouldn't send it to a competition of any kind, but my 9 year old loves it so I'm proud of it. How many projects do we have like this? Our own critical eye sees nothing but every corner we cut while the benefactor of our efforts sees all the best parts?

I realize it is subjective and 2 more weeks can in fact yield a better reult sometimes and when it comes to paying clients: they need to make informed decisions; but gifts for loved ones?

Admittedly Im not familiar with the subject matter but this is cool! It's fantastic what can be achieved with dense foam and how much detail it holds. From memory Modge Podge is PVA?
Cheers,

Yes. It is a PVA with a bit of a resin? that allows to to be far more water resistant than standard white glue.

I absolutely love this!! My 10yo niece would be floored by it too. Glad your daughter loved the end result!
