How to Make a Sand Dollar Night Light • Step 1 Gather a sand dollar -- from the beach or a craft store. All colors, shapes and sizes work well. Choose one that will match your home decor. • Step 2 Rinse the shell. Make sure to remove any debris, including sand or seaweed. • Step 3 Pour a solution of 2 cups bleach and 2 cups water into a bucket to get the shell white. Let the shell soak until it is pristine. • Step 4 Remove the shell from the bleach mix. Dry it with a towel. • Step 5 Paint it with acrylic paint. Epoxy onto shell; little starfish, sea grass, doves from sand dollar, etc. • Step 6 While waiting for the shell to dry, remove the night-light's shade. • Step 7 Administer epoxy glue to the night-light clip. Press the flat part of the shell onto the device, and hold for several seconds. Wait until the seashell is dry and secure before plugging in the night-light.
