I had some wall paper left over from a previous house, some Modge Podge, (read, Plain old White Glue) some vinyl lettering, and some black trim, so I set to work.I tore off pieces of paper, and glued them on randomly.
The first layer of wall paper looked blah, so I got this one out and did another layer.
Then I remembered that I still had some vinyl lettering stacked away somewhere, and put that on top.
Added some trim with spray-on adhesive, and Voila! A new lamp!
I think I will change out the base for a diffferent one later...a copper base I got at Savers on their dollar day, that I will spray paint. Probably with ORB.
This current base was a project I did a few years back...with Rust Paint from Master Paints...I will tel you about it sometime.
I think it is an improvement...and you? Have you changed the look of some of your lamps lately?
That was awesome! I have been looking for something to do with my Mod Podge. Thanks for
ReplyDeletegiving us a look at your process. I miss using
wallpaper. Home Depot stop giving free samples.
OMGosh, I love your lamp. Isn't modge podge just the best??? I wish I had a lamp with a shade that would accept m.p. I would make a lamp shade like this one. You did a great job.
ReplyDeleteI love the overlap of the vinyl over the wallpaper. Great job! I am hosting a link party on my blog this weekend about words/quotes (The Weekend Word Search). Please consider stopping by! Your project would be a great addition.
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job on this~ very creative~ inspires some ideas for me!
ReplyDeleteThat lamp shade rocks!
ReplyDeleteThat is AWESOME...and I could do that. Thanks again for joining in. Did you get my question about what kind of glue you used for the frames in the bathroom?
ReplyDeleteI am so glad I stopped! I have an old lamp shade with a velvet kind of material and I was putting off trying to change the fabric, I think I am going to try decoupage, what do I have to loose? thank you for the idea! Visiting from Debbiedoos.
