BEFORE AFTER On 1/27/2011, I posted a lamp that I repainted. This is that same lamp now updated again. Sometimes an idea comes along and it is better than the original. This is inspired from a Pinterest posting that used old jewelry. Well, that can get expensive so this is made from wooden beads that are painted gold. The beads came from a thrift store and cost 3.50 for the bag. I still have some leftover for a future project. The beads are just glued onto the lamp and painted over with gold and pearl acrylic paint. I got some jewel-like buttons and added them for accent. The perfect lampshade was on another lamp in the house, so I just switched them up. How much did this cost? The lamp was 1.49 originally, the beads 3.50, jewel buttons about 5.00. What a bargain for a one of a kind home accent!
I accomplished a years worth of creativity on a budget. Now this blog is just for all of my creative outlets. My creativity involves a lot of craft projects, artwork and a few odds and ends.
