How to Make DIY Tea Light Planets

Step 1:

Using a blade or knife, make a small hole on a ping pong ball. It should be big enough for the top part of the tea lights.

Step 2:

Get a tray and drizzle some paint colors. Choose your preferred color combinations. Make sure not to put big blotches of paint.

Step 3:

Place your ping pong ball and tilt the container to paint them. This method will help create abstract designs on your ping pong ball. Let it dry completely.

Step 4:

Place the ping pong ball on top of the tea light. Turn the light on.
