another lamp...


remember at the quilt show how i bought all those wooden spools? (they are getting extremely hard to find...at a decent price)  well, this is what i made....i've had it for a while, just looking for the right shade...i might 'embellish' this one....it looks a little plain...i'm thinking grommets with a fabric strip woven through...

i bought the jar at Hobby Lobby. it's specifically made for crafting. it's a mason jar with nothing on the outside. then i went to HomeDepot (a great walk around place) and bought a lamp kit. i drilled a hole in the top of the jar's lid, and following the directions, put the lighting kit together...

isn't it just too cute...a great addition to my quilting themed decor...these lamps were my first go at homemade bottle lamps...even at the end of that post this idea was emerging...
