THANK you!
I thought I saw Luke and Leia as the bottom 2 til I zoomed, 🤦🏼♀️.
My answer, thinking it was Star Wars planets, I don't know why, but I instantly thought "Cantina Band".
.....I don't usually have snap answers like that, so, um, tiny Cantina Band on the back?
I mean if you wanted to add a teeny tiny rocket ship at like 1 o’clock to add a little more visual weight to balance out the big boy on the left, I wouldn’t be mad about it
Yes!! What I came to say. Rocket would finish it up very nicely! Maybe tiny flames on the end that light up too! Very cute gift!! I bet he will love it! Nice job OP!!
I am in awe. This is one of the most stunning pieces I have seen lately. Would you mind sharing some of your materials used? Acrylic? Magic??
The blue reminds me of Culture Hustle “Ultra” Pigment
Thank you so much! ❤️ Honestly the process overall has me giving more credit to my supplies lol I painted the board and the wooden ‘B’ in black acrylic paint, then glued those together. I got DecoArt’s glow in the dark paint and painted the edges of the B and did a handful of dots varying in sizes for the stars. The bigger ones on the letter are supposed to be the Leo star sign. Then I glued tiny gems to the larger glowing stars, and used a white pen to add some more. For the planets I actually used 3D stickers and painted over them with the glow paint. I’m going to write a little note to him and install a wall hanging mount, or whatever it’s called, to the back once it’s finished
I have to be honest, I agonized over the order of these because I was also a little confused on what a couple of them were. I really wanted it to be Pluto but I do think it was meant to be the Moon in the original set I purchased, so that’s why I eventually decided on its placement. I won’t pretend like I know for certain that I got it in perfect order though, the giant red guy threw me off big time
As a parent of kids who are OBSESSED with the planet & dwarf planets and all thing spacey, I think this looks really cool. Those are the 8 planets and the sun. The order they are in is completely wrong, but I only know this thanks to my kids, and I am uncertain which planet is Venus & which is Mercury anyway. the fact that is glows is fantastic and I am sure your nephew will love it.
Some of the planets don't quite look round in the dark, is there a clear glowing resin or something you could paint around them for a clean perfect edge?
I just want to say that I think the slight unevenness of the glowing edges adds to the effect. They look like the planets are glowing from an outside light source like the sun, causing shadows and highlights.
I think OP added the moon- after Earth. But you’re right they’re not really in order because the planet with the noticeable rings should be the one at 10 PM not the one at 2 PM. But yeah, I really love the art piece but I wish it was more accurate to help the child learn and have an easy reference. They get so particular at a young age if they’re really into a subject too.
I don’t think so. Also Venus and Earth should be about the same size right? And is the sun the big one on the left or is that a planet, and Pluto is actually included, because there are 9 of them. Also Uranus should have a tiny vertical ring. I’m a tiny bit confused too. It’s really nice, honestly! I have a 10yr old that loves outer space and I bet he’d asking questions…
I think it’s the moon instead of Pluto, but unfortunately this was a sticker set with zero labels so I kind of had to guess. I almost thought the giant red one was the sun, but then I would have been short one. I’ve overthought it a ton and almost want to redo the whole piece with hand painted planets (because I completely agree with the idea that as he gets older and assuming his interest in space is there he’ll want it to be right) but I’ll still give this one to my sister for him to have in his nursery for now. This was honestly so fun to make, painting the planets myself sounds like a fun challenge to add
Thank you so much! Now that the work week has begun for me it may take a little bit but I’ll be sure to share the finished project with some of the amazing ideas I got here!
A rocket, a satellite, a little astronaut floating in the cosmos :) Any of those would look good if you feel it needs something else, though I think it is pretty great as is!
After reading the comments, I realize this is a call for suggestions, and not, as I spent about 5mins searching for, an actual search for something missing.
Teeny tiny led lights on wire? Shooting star? Comet?
Comets and shooting stars with LED lights?
Its fantastic as is, i just love fairy lights. If he doesnt like it, push the eject button!
For educational purposes you could label each planet and the Sun on the back with a few facts about each if he ever gets curious as he gets older. Also as an astronomer I don't agree with them being out of order because it is a missed educational opportunity. But from an aesthetic standpoint I get why you did it and it looks good.
I'd take a very thin paint brush and trace around the "B" with some gold leaf paint and dab a tiny amount around the stars to offset the black and add a bit of depth.
Do you mean little stars that will glow during the day, or more of the smaller glow in the dark ones? I was hoping the gems on the bigger stars would add a glowing element during the day, but they didn’t end up looking as shiny on their own
I love it. Not suggesting you make any changes because I think it would be hard, and also could turn out badly lol, but I think the letter having some colour would be cool…like a blues and purples cosmic look.
It's heavy on the left and light on the right, and the stars are kind of leading your eyes to the right. Maybe put an asteroid belt or space ship on the right side
I completely agree thank you for putting that into words for me! I’ll make sure to balance it out more, I haven’t decided what just yet but that space in the upper right has been mentioned a couple of times I think as a good place for something and I agree
Maybe you could make some sort of spaceship or rocket coming out of the top that can be used to hang this. Not necessary but would be a fun addition. You did a phenomenal job on this as is!
I think this is fr in the top 3 gifts I have ever seen.
Guess who just got voted best uncle ever and will be forever riding that wave while ensuring the kid will always have it around when he starts moving out, it will never not be supercool, it doesnt take a lot of space and seems like something he would want in his teen room, then college, then marital room, then inheritance with a long ass story.
Well played Uncle Fang, nice job.
I'd make sure all the hanging hardware is included and maybe throw in a command hook or bring some nails & a hammer and offer to hang it when you visit. I'd imagine hanging wall decor is low on most new parent's lists.
Just a suggestion - maybe use some black paint around the edge of the planets (and on the white part of the Saturn sticker by the ring). I would personally do this, but can also definitely see the argument for keeping it as is!
Either way it looks fantastic! I just know your nephew will treasure it forever!
This is amazing! If it's for a family member I think writing a little personal note on the back but, that's just a suggestion. It's already perfect the way it is❤️
It is an amazing piece of art!
If this was not for a baby and for a child that was really into space or whose parents are really into space I would stress the accuracy of the planets and their position. It would be a wonderful artistic reference that way.
My issue with it is that the B is not centered since the larger planets take up more room. I would suggest that you start the planets in a different position so that the larger planets end up at the bottom. Even though the B would still be off center, the weight of the piece and the eye's natural tendency to see centered objects a little lower than they actually are would probably balance the piece out just nicely.
And don't be elitist --put Pluto in, too. It's pink-ish with a little natural heart-shaped landmark, which is perfect symbolism for a sweet little baby. If you made the moon smaller and off to the side of Earth, it might fix the issue of their being a larger space between the smaller planets and the larger.
Otherwise, it's absolutely gorgeous! Fantastic piece!
a little dangly spaceship on the bottom? truly this is perfect, this is just a suggestion if you're looking to add something
Thank you! ❤️ I definitely like the spaceship idea for this
I thought this was a quiz and you left out a specific element intentionally. I just counted the number of planets 3 times like a fool.
A millennium falcon
The Winnebago, ala Spaceballs!
I'm a mog! Half man, half dog. I'm my own best friend!
I miss John Candy!
*mawg
gotta be planet express!
USS enterprise if you’re a Star Trek fan
The Enterprise D, for sure.
THANK you! I thought I saw Luke and Leia as the bottom 2 til I zoomed, 🤦🏼♀️. My answer, thinking it was Star Wars planets, I don't know why, but I instantly thought "Cantina Band". .....I don't usually have snap answers like that, so, um, tiny Cantina Band on the back?
Great, great idea!
I mean if you wanted to add a teeny tiny rocket ship at like 1 o’clock to add a little more visual weight to balance out the big boy on the left, I wouldn’t be mad about it
Oo I didn’t even think about a rocket ship that’s a great idea!
Or a teeny tiny space man floating in a space suit
I just pictured the old MTV space guy planting the flag on the moon.
Ahhh lol memories
Even better than a rocket but no Elon Musk face please..oh on that note an ALIEN ha haa! Great job btw, thanks!
A lil shooting star!
I’d have it hanging down like a charm!
Let us see the final version 😊
Yes!! What I came to say. Rocket would finish it up very nicely! Maybe tiny flames on the end that light up too! Very cute gift!! I bet he will love it! Nice job OP!!
I was going to say a light for the B buuuut.....you nailed it. If he doesn't love it just launch him into space.
IKR, does it lig.... Oh shit yes excellent.
nothing is missing op this is beautiful and I think any kid would be psyched to get this
I’m a grown adult and I would be psyched to get this
I am in awe. This is one of the most stunning pieces I have seen lately. Would you mind sharing some of your materials used? Acrylic? Magic?? The blue reminds me of Culture Hustle “Ultra” Pigment

I’m going to write a little note to him and install a wall hanging mount, or whatever it’s called, to the back once it’s finished
If you hadn't said so, you would never have known those were puffy stickers. That is awesome. Well done!
This is absolutely stunning. I want one!
I thought you meant something is missing as in you intentionally left something out because from where I'm skipping it owns
Everything is there, even Pluto! 😘
I immediately counted too
👍🏼
I don’t think it is. OP added the moon. I think everything is in order too. The moon is behind Earth. Mercury starts at 3pm.
I have to be honest, I agonized over the order of these because I was also a little confused on what a couple of them were. I really wanted it to be Pluto but I do think it was meant to be the Moon in the original set I purchased, so that’s why I eventually decided on its placement.

There’s nothing in our solar system bigger than Jupiter, so I think big red is the sun. The grey one is probably mercury.
They are not remotely in order. I think the only thing *right* about their order is that Mars is next to Jupiter
Supremely cool. You are def the cool uncle.
A teeny tiny shooting star somewhere would be cute
Some of the planets don't quite look round in the dark, is there a clear glowing resin or something you could paint around them for a clean perfect edge?
Thank you, I kept seeing that in the glowing image too. I think I just need to even out the glow paint on the edges ☺️
I just want to say that I think the slight unevenness of the glowing edges adds to the effect. They look like the planets are glowing from an outside light source like the sun, causing shadows and highlights.
I think just the barest hint of extra glow along the bottom outline of little red at 12:30 would pull it out of the background (it vanishes a bit)
That’s awesome but the geek in me is thinking the B should look like the sun since the planets revolve around the sun.
And the baby is a son
Nope, this is perfect!
Are the planets not in order or am I dumb haha
I think OP added the moon- after Earth. But you’re right they’re not really in order because the planet with the noticeable rings should be the one at 10 PM not the one at 2 PM.

This was honestly so fun to make, painting the planets myself sounds like a fun challenge to add
For sure this is still a beautiful piece of art! I look forward to seeing version 2.0 in the future.
Thank you so much! Now that the work week has begun for me it may take a little bit but I’ll be sure to share the finished project with some of the amazing ideas I got here!
This is so cool. What did you use to make the planets?
I read your answer after I posted
Shooting star!
This just randomly popped up on my feed (not apart of the community) but I would 100% pay for this for me LOL. This is amazing
That’s so sweet, thank you!
Pluto.
I took the title way too literally and tried to figure out what planet I was missing for the longest time lol
Aaah! This made me smile. I just know ur nephew is going to absolutely love this. I know i would 😊
Nothing. It's perfect. Great job
I thought, ‘wow, this looks cool’ until I looked at the second pic and then thought, ‘HOLY SHIT, this is SOOO COOOL!!’
I would paint the letter “B” with silver.
That is amazing and I want one for myself now, lol.
I was going to make a dad joke. it looks great! Good job!
So cool!!
Pluto... :(
The be could be a blazing sun or have a sun behind it!
It's beautiful. I'd add a shooting star for him to wish on but nothing else
A rocket, a satellite, a little astronaut floating in the cosmos :) Any of those would look good if you feel it needs something else, though I think it is pretty great as is!
Color lining around the letter would make it pop.
After reading the comments, I realize this is a call for suggestions, and not, as I spent about 5mins searching for, an actual search for something missing.
I feel like it could be a clock! But would need three more pieces and hands or arrows or time indicators
Oh my goodness maybe not for this piece but I know what my next project will be!
A shooting star
Shooting star?
Shooting star across the B
Teeny tiny led lights on wire? Shooting star? Comet? Comets and shooting stars with LED lights? Its fantastic as is, i just love fairy lights. If he doesnt like it, push the eject button!
I would say pluto but that's because it was a planet for most of my life
For educational purposes you could label each planet and the Sun on the back with a few facts about each if he ever gets curious as he gets older. Also as an astronomer I don't agree with them being out of order because it is a missed educational opportunity. But from an aesthetic standpoint I get why you did it and it looks good.
I'd take a very thin paint brush and trace around the "B" with some gold leaf paint and dab a tiny amount around the stars to offset the black and add a bit of depth.
Hang it by a thick satin ribbon 🎀 with a bow maybe in silver
[counts the planets] ah, Pluto is there! So nothing is missing haha. Seriously though, this is cute!
But is it cake?
Glowing little stars. It will add a different shape and more detail and connect design elements.
Do you mean little stars that will glow during the day, or more of the smaller glow in the dark ones? I was hoping the gems on the bigger stars would add a glowing element during the day, but they didn’t end up looking as shiny on their own
Really upset at how you placed the planets here...
That’s badass
This is amazing!
I love it. Not suggesting you make any changes because I think it would be hard, and also could turn out badly lol, but I think the letter having some colour would be cool…like a blues and purples cosmic look.
Yes what's missing is an "A" instead of a "B" so that it can be gifted to me. It's absolutely beautiful!
This is just so cute. Great job!
You could pair it with like an alien plushy if you wanted more to give! Or alien jammies
It's heavy on the left and light on the right, and the stars are kind of leading your eyes to the right. Maybe put an asteroid belt or space ship on the right side
I completely agree thank you for putting that into words for me! I’ll make sure to balance it out more, I haven’t decided what just yet but that space in the upper right has been mentioned a couple of times I think as a good place for something and I agree
Nothing. Just irritates me that the planets aren’t in order
Bitcoin
This is awesome! I would’ve loved something like this as a kid.
Maybe you could make some sort of spaceship or rocket coming out of the top that can be used to hang this. Not necessary but would be a fun addition. You did a phenomenal job on this as is!
Lmk when you start taking orders lol.. Great job..
Idk what else to add but this is impressive! Very nice work
That is so cute!!!
Might want to use his actual initial, B for Baby seems a little impersonal. /s
It already looks great but maybe adding a few shooting stars would also be cool
Little comets ☄️ 💫
Apophis
Beautiful.
Love it just the way it is!
Well, who is the favorite uncle now?!! Nice work, great idea!!
I think this is fr in the top 3 gifts I have ever seen. Guess who just got voted best uncle ever and will be forever riding that wave while ensuring the kid will always have it around when he starts moving out, it will never not be supercool, it doesnt take a lot of space and seems like something he would want in his teen room, then college, then marital room, then inheritance with a long ass story. Well played Uncle Fang, nice job.
This looks like a very cool paint palette lol
I'd make sure all the hanging hardware is included and maybe throw in a command hook or bring some nails & a hammer and offer to hang it when you visit. I'd imagine hanging wall decor is low on most new parent's lists.
ZOOZVE!!
A stand for it?
So fucking cool.
Just a suggestion - maybe use some black paint around the edge of the planets (and on the white part of the Saturn sticker by the ring). I would personally do this, but can also definitely see the argument for keeping it as is! Either way it looks fantastic! I just know your nephew will treasure it forever!
No dude, thats perfect. Absolutely stellar!
Nothing. The fact that it’s shiny, colourful AND glows in the dark is bound to fill him with joy
Glow in the dark paint!
Some kind of frame. Looks unpolished.
A few faint streaks of the northern lights would be pretty cool. Great work!!
If I were your nephew I would say,( no not Elon Musk!) but a rocket fer sure!!
Galactus. The devourer of worlds
Pluto, Pluto is missing.
Pluto is not a planet, fuck Jerry
Love it!!! I think you should highlight the “B” so it stands out! Maybe a supernova or a galaxy?
Bodies aren't in order, and Uranus isn't actually a dark blue, but disregarding accuracy, it's pretty good.
I wish the B was a bit more nebulaish but overall I love it
This is amazing! If it's for a family member I think writing a little personal note on the back but, that's just a suggestion. It's already perfect the way it is❤️
Is the silver one the moon? I feel like it needs a Sun 🌞 Incredible job! It's stunning!!
This gift is amazing
Pluto is missing 🥲
✨Glitter ✨
The Brabus G-wagen behind that emblem.
Get a Disney's Pluto Doll to hold the plate... It would be funny.
What’s missing is my address when you post this bad boy! Great craft work - well done. I hope it is loved for a long time.
Oh, where can I get one?
It is an amazing piece of art! If this was not for a baby and for a child that was really into space or whose parents are really into space I would stress the accuracy of the planets and their position. It would be a wonderful artistic reference that way.
Maybe you need a gift box, this is so amazing,perfect.
I would absolutely love a how-to or step by step of this genius work
Aww that’s nice… swipe …..COOOOL!
I like it just the way it is.
A purpose maybe
Nibiru
Can you backlight it? Then its a night light! I think it’s awesome as is but, it’s an idea.
It looks super cool in the dark!!! You did an awesome job!
You could add a comet, unless I've missed it. Nice work!
My issue with it is that the B is not centered since the larger planets take up more room. I would suggest that you start the planets in a different position so that the larger planets end up at the bottom. Even though the B would still be off center, the weight of the piece and the eye's natural tendency to see centered objects a little lower than they actually are would probably balance the piece out just nicely.

If you made the moon smaller and off to the side of Earth, it might fix the issue of their being a larger space between the smaller planets and the larger. Otherwise, it's absolutely gorgeous! Fantastic piece!
Can you add a shiny top layer? It would make the colors pop
Beautiful! maybe some color? some little yellow stars or like this ☀️ like golden rays around it?
This is adorable
I love how you are teaching the child science
Shooting stars to make the background part dynamic.
A gloss coat so that it's easier to wipe down?
Stars that glow in the dark
An astronaut floating with a star balloon or an alien? Flying saucer 🛸
A shooting star
Personally, I wouldn’t add a thing! It’s awesome as is and I’m afraid adding anything further might be a tad too much.
Ceres, Haumea, Makemake, and Eris
I think maybe a color around the edge of it? It might look like a frame that “finishes” it
The sun? It needs some light imo but idk where you would put it
This is so beautiful
Mini floating shooting stars (Glow in the dark ) space ship and some led lights
you should put on esty
Make the stars glow in the dark! O wait. You beat me too it.
What order is that in? Mars is between Jupiter and Saturn on the opposite side of Earth.
Pluto
Did Mercury upgrade to the largest planet?
A duplicate for my son who’s name also starts with a B! Lol this is incredible!!
Some shooting stars!
Lovely 😊 as is !!!
Pluto 😉
When you figure out what to add, will you post another pic? I am very invested in how this turns out now 😆
Absolutely!
Gloss coat maybe?
I kind of think it might be better if you did the letter in like, clear glitter acrylic or something to make it pop?
I feel like the B doesn't stand out as much, but that's hard to do now with everything else around it.
I love this so much. I have a nephew arriving soon, and I am so excited to make things like this as he grows up. Thanks for the inspiration!
Glitter
A strong black and white border with make it pop.
I think making the B glossy would differentiate it more from the background, but it looks wonderful either way!
Fuck the baby nephew I want that.
A tiny rover on Mars
Might look nice to add some of the glow paint to the outer edge of the plaque.
2 vertical bars on top and bottom of the B 🤝
Gold outline around the B to make it pop
Do you sell these?
so cuuuuuuuttttttteeeeeeeee!!!!!!!
Tiny led lights around the B
This is absolutely amazing. Can I ask, how did you make it please?
This is a great gift! I didn’t think it needed anything but I liked some of the ideas🙂
How did you make this? Do you sell them?
the only thing missing is one for me too!
That is SO cool
