For the past few months I have had bare bulbs in my craft room, because the shades were casting too much shadow so we had been looking for an alternative and couldn’t find anything….. So with my amazing engineer of a husband who can build ANYTHING out of ANYTHING, yes really he can, we hatched a plan.
I have to say, it is the best plan and the end result is fabulous…… So we started out with some Stampin’ Up! punches, and then supersized them and tweaked them to take out a petal and made a template. Brian then cut out 10 from Perspex and we ended up with these.
So then we heated them gently in the oven, and placed them on the mould (otherwise know as a bowl….)
Then safety equipment on we moulded them to the right shape, I had the technical job of getting them in and out of the oven and balancing the mug on the top!
This is how they finished up.
The amazing engineer installing the lights!
Here they are in all their glory, they are so pretty, unique, handmade and fabulous !!!
It was a great way to spend a Saturday ! I hope you are having fun this weekend.
They look great, brilliant idea – wish my Engineer Husband was as good at diy as your Brian xx
You two are a great team! And I too wish my husband was even 10% as good as Brian is – my dad was a carpenter and I grew up with him fixing everything and turning his hand to what was needed whether it be rewiring the house or just putting a picture up. My husband can’t even screw a screw in straight!!!!
