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.

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.
