Pottery Barn Kids Knock Off Nightlight

Home Decor· Kids Rooms

Make PB knock off nightlights for 1/4 the price! Tried & True for Crafts UnleashedSo you want a customized nightlight but you don’t want to pay $35.00 for it? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! In this post, I’ll show you how to make a nightlight that looks ridiculously similar to the Pottery Barn Kids version but for 1/4 of the price. Inexpensive, easy, and cute? My kind of project!

Pottery Barn Knockoff Customized Nightlight: CompareSupplies need to make customized nightlights:

  • Plug In Nightlight
  • 3×3 Mini Canvas
  • Zig Jumbo Tip Glue
  • Tissue Paper
  • Glue
  • Spray Sealant (optional)

1. Design your nightlight image. You can do this on your computer (4×4 square should cover the canvas front and sides) and then print it out on a piece of white tissue paper you’ve taped down to a normal printer sheet. Another option, would be to cut a 4×4 square from decorative tissue and just use letter stickers to customize.

Pottery Barn Knockoff Customized Nightlight: Create Art2. Use Zig Squeeze & Roll Jumbo Tip Glue to affix the tissue to the front of canvas. Gently smooth out any bubbles or wrinkles. I highly suggest not applying too much glue because you definitely don’t want to soak the tissue! Repeat on the sides, folding in the corners like you’re wrapping a present. Try not to touch the printed image too much, the ink will smear.

Pottery Barn Knockoff Customized Nightlight: Attaching Art3. Allow to dry completely and then using whatever strong glue you have around, attach to the nightlight clip (see picture below.)

Pottery Barn Knockoff Customized Nightlight: Tried & True for Crafts UnleashedAnd that’s it! Assuming you have some of the more basic supplies (glue, tissue paper, etc), you can make your own customized nightlight for just $8.21. Not bad when you’re looking at $35.00 plus shipping from Pottery Barn Kids!

    Hello! I love this idea but could you give me more details about how you created the image on your computer? Also, if I did just get the decorative tissue paper, how could I put an image like the birds on it and what kind of letter stickers do you think? Thank you so much!!!

      Also, it looks like the tissue paper you used was white AND pink? or did you use two separate sheets?
      Tx!

    How adorable! What a cute idea, I’ve never seen anything like this! You did a GREAT job making this, looks just as pretty as the Pottery Barn one, and the price is way more reasonable! Very cute!
