Pretty simple, but there is plenty of room to experiment here with shapes, sizes, designs, and types of light sources. By cutting the acetate just a little bit wider than the container, it will stay upright a little easier.įinally, put the lid on that puppy so it won’t get away. Next, insert the piece of acetate, complete with your wisp in the container and make sure it can stand up in the middle.
If the light won’t fit in the top of your container, you can always place it behind the container when you display it. Place your light source (already lit) in the bottom of your container and surround it with enough grass to cover the source, but not obscure it’s light. Make sure the image is right in the middle so it will appear to be “floating” in the bottle, jar, etc. Hint: You could draw or trace your image directly on the acetate, but it will show up much better on the vellum. Next, cut the image out and glue it with some clear-drying glue onto a piece of acetate cut to fit in your container of choice. Either print out the image directly on the vellum or trace (or draw it freehand) on the vellum. Since these elusive little Wisps are known to retreat from anyone who tries to catch them, I won’t bother you with the details of catching them and move on to showing you how to make one.įirst, find an image of a Wisp you like (from “Brave,” “Skyrim,” “Final Fantasy” or just design your own). Light source like LED or “flameless” tea candles, miniature glow sticks, or whatever else you can find. Sharpie markers (if you are free handing) or printed images of wisps
Grass real or artificial (like the type in silk in floral arrangements) to help keep the creature comfy. Glass or clear plastic containers of various types (jars, craft ornaments, bottles) large enough to contain your creature And they are a booger-bear to hunt, so let’s waste no time in catching a few. Most importantly they want lots and lots of Will-o’-The-Wisps (or “Wisps” as they are called in the movie).Īccording to legend…with a little help for Wikipedia…the Will-O’-The-Wisp is a ghost-like light seen by travelers in marsh or bog areas that can resemble a flickering candle or lamplight. After seeing Pixar’s “Brave,” Merida zoomed to the top of my girl’s list as the coolest Disney Princess EVER!!! This means “Brave-themed” birthday parties complete with Celtic-themed trimmings.
