I bought some old fashioned lamps at work. The shades were white cardboard. I covered them with Mod Podge and pages from an old falling apart hymn book I rescued from the thrift store trash. |
These are from the 70's I'd think. |
I gave them a coat of primer first. |
They needed a second coat. They were so shiny that the primer didn't stick as well as I thought it would. |
After 2 coats they were ready to spray paint. |
I used Ace Hardware Metallic Silver spray paint. It did a great job. |
It covered really well and was extra shiny. |
I did this little house picture frame too. |
I sewed some pillows also. |
I'm really pleased with how my project turned out. I've been doing some other sewing also, but I will have to post about it sometime later. I'll be looking at all your blogs today! |
Donna, that lamp turned out spectacular! I love it. You are so talented. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind words.
DeleteYou are pretty talented yourself!
Blessings to you.
I agree with Terri, just spectacular! The pillows are nice too. My daughter used chevrons for her family's Easter outfits and I really like them.
