L.H.B -map lamp

I found this lamp & shade at home depot for $25 (close out) all I did was get a Houston map
and go nuts with my circle punch.  The base of the lamp is black, nice shape it just
doesn't show up in this photo very well.

Then I glued the circles directly to the lampshade. (again with the wood glue -all I had in the house)
I saw this idea on Etsy with the lamp for $225.  Way Way out of my budget.

Not sure how they got the circles to stay so unattached on the ends.


As you can see I couldn't get them to do that. (I may have used to much glue,
I do have that problem)  I am happy with the results.


My dining room table is the "catch" all for the lake house projects, we go every weekend
and work on the house.  I place the "weeks" projects on the table so I don't forget to load
them up.  The photo really doesn't do it justice, it turned out very nice.

Best part is I have a container (I keep the chinese food containers for crafts, remember
I am cheap) full of circes.  I have no idea what I am going to do with them, but I will
think of something, trust me.

Happy Crafts.
