Best Habitation Ugly Drinking Glass Lamps Transformed

Oh boy, I stimulate got to tell you, my invitee is already domicile alongside me, her room was finished only inwards time, but I haven't had the fourth dimension to edit or stimulate got some extra pictures I need, or write virtually all that was done inwards it. I've been playing the host business office real well, visiting places to a greater extent than or less town, hiking, swimming, in addition to the calendar week has only started. :)

Reveal fourth dimension is apace approaching but inwards the meantime, I'm going to present you lot some of the projects that kept me busy these yesteryear weeks, in addition to this is ane of those.
I actually liked the light I had inwards my inspiration board, then I tried to re-create truthful cat it ;)

I'm non every bit good proud to tell I bought this twosome of lamps inwards the icon present below, I didn't fifty-fifty similar them when I bought them, but at the fourth dimension my budget alone allowed me to larn these ones. Eventually nosotros upgraded them in addition to I did't throw them away thinking that maybe someday I mightiness involve the electrical parts to create something else. Well, it never happened, they were inwards the basement looking the same means every bit when I bought them. :/

Since I was trying to role everything I had on manus for the invitee room makeover, the twosome of lamps looked similar a overnice alternative. First of all, they were cleaned real well.

My inspiration light had those overnice bumps in addition to that, perhaps, was the characteristic I loved the most virtually it. I decided my lamps had to had the bumps at the transcend of the vase too.

Using Polymer clay remnants my missy had (and she has a lot of those "trash" pieces), I created the bumps, no exact dimensions or shapes whatsoever. They went into the oven according to the clay instructions...

And every bit shortly every bit they cooled downwards they were fix to hold upwards attached to the vases alongside a hot gum gun.

Then, the magic of pigment began. The brass parts were spray painted argent in addition to taped off earlier icon the vase. Two coats of primer were applied.

Followed yesteryear 2 coats of scarlet paint.

The niggling bumps got dry out brushed lightly alongside white paint.

Finally a switcheroo of shades was done in addition to the lamps were totally transformed! I similar the novel shades, they were bought at Target long fourth dimension agone for alone $5.99 each.
