A creative space lover and Instructables user named Baldr used fiber optics to build himself an awesome bathroom floor that looks like a starry night sky right at home – and with his instructions, you can too!
The lights seem like a good way to light the bathroom during a midnight trip, when you want your eyes to stay accustomed to the darkness. You’ll need to be handy enough to tile and grout a floor, too – and Baldr suggests creating a small test version first. For the rest of his instructions, read on!

Here’s how his starry bathroom floor looks at night!
Each of those points of light is the end of a fiber optic cable
Baldr suggests keeping the light source outside of the bathroom
This means that there will be a bundle of fiber optic cables entering the bathroom, and that is where you should start laying your tiles
Just lift a fiber out of the bundle wherever you want to have a star. Baldr suggests working with a dim light source installed so you can see what you’re doing
Once the floor is done and sealed, just cute the fibers with a hot knife, connect the cables to a light source…
…and voila!
You can basically fiber-optic anything, like a table…
…or even stairs! Check out Baldr’s Instructables for more info.
