  Step 1

  Start by printing out your desired image on to white card.

• 

  Step 2

  Cut out the image.

• 

  Step 3

  Glue the image to a sheet of thick plastic using spray mount or any clear spray glue.

• 

  Step 4

  Cut the plastic to size.

• 

  Step 5

  Cut a strip of black card and fold in a circle to match the size of your image. Staple or glue together to hold it's shape.

• 

  Step 6

  Hot glue the image on top of the card circle.

• 

  Step 7

  Roll some white card up in to a stick and hot glue on top of your push-light.

• 

  Step 8

  This is the tricky bit. Cut two more strips of plastic and glue in a cross at the back of your light. Glue the push light inside the light, making sure your card stick is long enough to touch the front of the light.

• 

  Step 9

  Leave to dry.

• 

  Step 10

  Push your light on to see if it works!

• 

  Step 11

  Optional: Use a hole punch to make holes around the outer edge of your light to create an outer glow.

• 

  Step 12

  Mount on the wall and keep yourself amused by pushing it on and off for hours.
