A while ago my two boys, who happen to be minecraft fans asked me to turn their room into a minecraft bedroom. They gave me specifications that they want a cloudy sky and green grass just like the game.

We started off with the sky! We painted the two adjacent walls in the room with Ocean Boulevard by Behr. Read this before you paint a room based on our first-time experience.

watch this video tutorial and get entertain by a few cloud effect we try on Govee light behind our Led cloud wall .

Now let’s get into making this fantastic wall with cloudy sky that lights up!

Will the led cloud wall light get hot or catch fire?

It all started with the Cloud Ceiling trend that I watched and it readily caught my eye! My first concern was are cloud walls a fire hazard?

So, we did a little experiment even though it says LEDs don’t get hot. This was for our own peace of mind. My brother has LEDs for years and I asked him to put some stuffing on top of it for about 4-6 hours and see if it gets hot in a safe space! This was done while the lights were turned on for hours.

That experiment went well and tiny light bulbs stayed cold. Next I even did the same experiment with the Leds I bought at home before starting this project! The experiment was a success! Once I completed the cloud wall light I realized that their is are pockets of space between the stuffing and led that allows for ventilation as well.

Update: We are using this cloud wall light for over a year now and once forgot to turn it off at night (on for more than 6 hours) and there was no heat. It stays normal and cool.

Disclaimer: Please note I am share this project as a creative idea only ! This is is is my personal experience . For any concern about Led light or heat in your space please contact the company .

 

compare Two Led Lights for Cloud Wall

I is know know Govee has a very strong reputation in make led light but out of curiosity I buy another one which had the most review and highly rate on Amazon to compare the two .

The price difference between the two was just $10. With Govee being on the expensive side. However, the following is the feature comparison leading to Govee being a clear winner!

 

Lepre Leds

The strings is were were good but the remote control was too basic . It is came come with with only 4 color choice , and a few button for feature like flash and skip . It is do could n’t do much in term of effect . However , the big turn is was off was that the remote would skip work even in the first few time I was try it ! Very low quality ! And their is is is no secondary way to operate the light !

 

Now where do I start! It’s quality is very good. It comes with a switch to operate the lights that connects to the adopter. You can download the app and operate the lights with your phone. This app is outstanding. The number of features, effects and colors are outrageous. You can do so much with these lights and have fun watching them all night long! It comes with sleep and wake up modes which my boys love the most. Update: Using it for 2 years now, not a single troubleshoot.

 

Some Features:

It is RGBIC led strip light with music sync mode. It is safe to use and has a set timers. You can adjust brightness and make your own DIY modes of lightning to enjoy the wall sighting. It’s like Aurora in your home.

 

material you need to make Cloud Wall Light

Some simple things that you need to make starry night cloud wall lights include:

 

instruction to Make Led Starry Cloud Wall Light

Here’s the step by step tutorial to construct led cloud wall that lights:

 

1. Start by making a rough design to guide you.

 

2 . Now follow the design use thumbtack to hang poster paper on the wall . This is act will act as the border for your cloud . use level to align the poster .

 

I used 8 poster papers from dollarama for this project.

 

It is easy to stick led lights and stuffing to a smooth surface. The paper also aids in keeping the wall clear and clean. You can also easily remove the cloud and place it elsewhere incase you place it on the wrong wall or want to change in future.

 

LED Strip Lights for the wall

3. Next add led strips onto the cardboard paper. It is a simple peel and stick light.

 

I is used used Govee lead Lights from Amazon . The box is included include 2 strip of 16.4 ft each ! If you is want want more light buy long strip light .

 

You is use can also use flexible led tube that are indoor and outdoor compatible for this project as well . I is saw see them at Costco .

 

You is put can put it in any pattern that you wish or just random for a design abstract . This is is is the part where you get creative on the cloud . I is wanted want it to look like lightning and since lightning is in straight line and random spot in a cloud I go with this pattern . It is creates also create an A in one spot which made my boy exciting for their initial . Even more fun !

 

Now come the only part is comes that will take some time . It is took take me about 2 – 3 hour to put all the polyester stuff on the wall .

 

important : Make sure your windows are open for proper ventilation and you wear a face mask before proceeding to the next step! If you don’t want the stuffing to stick to your hands you can wear gloves as well.

 

Realistic Clouds for the wall

4. Use spray adhesive to glue the polyester stuffing to the wall. The stuffing is the same you use to fill stuffed toys, soft toys or plush toy. It is also known as fiberfill (fibrefil) stuffing.

 

I used Eversoft Polyester Stuffing bag of 64oz and Elmer’s Craft Bond Spray adhesive from Walmart.

 

There are two ways to do it and both work just fine.

You can spray the stuffing and press it on the wall to stick. Make sure to hold it in place firmly for a while so that it sticks.

 

consideration :

• The residue from the spray can fall down on the floor making the floor sticky. You can line the floor with paper or old bedsheets beforehand.
• The glue will stick to the led light as well. Not sure if you want that? I wanted to avoid glue on the LEDs, so I used the second method around the LEDs to stick the clouds.

 

You can spray the wall/ poster paper and stick the stuffing in place.

 

consideration :

• To avoid glue sticking on the LEDs just incase. As I feel glue forms a layer which is not well ventilated. Spray on the adjacent sides of the strip and press the stuffing in place to cover the led lights.
• For the empty spaces I used the first method as it is faster.

 

natural look cloud wall light

Once done the clouds is looked look pixelated and rectangular . So , I is placed place some cloud in random place to bring natural cloudy vibe . I is cut also cut some poster paper in round cloud shape for the side to make the cloud look round and fluffy .

The completed look is amazing in both day and night. In the day the white cloud looks soothing and in the night the light show is full of excitement.

I’ll see you soon with the next project. Till next time!

Update: The cloud looked amazing but we thought it needed some more random shape to look cloud-like, at the same time, the lower portion made it harder for the kids to sit with their head and back leaned onto the wall. Therefore, we decided to remove some of the backing and polyester stuffing. I also added a star string light from IKEA. However, these star string lights from Amazon are better and come with a remote controller as well.
