I'm thinking about turning them into night lights but I'm wondering if they're too big. Any thoughts? Thanks for looking!

If the bulb illuminates the center more than the periphery so what. The pattern will be illuminated even then.

No such thing as too big! Do it, miket!

Robin

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

-- C.S. Lewis

There's a town festival coming up in a few weeks and I'm going to do a table with my pendants, and I think I'm going to sell some of these as well.

What kind of glue did you use? I used E6000 on mine and it worked good.
