How to Make Santa Cam Night Light?

To make a Santa cam Nightlight you will need:

  • Ordinary LED plug-in nightlight
  • Red gloss (Or any color of your choice)
  • Camera Lens (This can be printed out if you have a Cricut machine)
  • Glue

If you own a craft cutting machine, like the Cricut machine, you can download a Santa Cam SVG file or use Design Space to create your Santa Cam design. For this method, you will need:

  • Black Adhesive Vinyl
  • Transfer tape
  • Cricut weeding tool
  • Standard Grip Mat
  • Brayer

If you do not own a craft cutting machine, you can still make a Santa Cam nightlight, all you will need are some alphabet stickers or a Santa hat sticker.

5. Send the design to your Cricut cutting machine.

Now to decorate the body of the nightlight,

9. Remove the mat from the Cricut machine and then remove the vinyl material from the mat.
