A couple weeks ago I got a little tip from my Aunt (who by the way is another junking fanatic) her church was putting on a huge rummage sale to help raise money for kids to go to camp.
I showed up almost an hour before the doors opened and was still in the back of a huge line. Though there were tons of other people to contend with, I did manage to pick up a few things for a whopping total of $15 bucks!!
.
One of the things was an old globe with a dent in it. Junk to most right? Who really wants a glob with a dent in it right!? Well, I snagged it for $1 and check out what I did with it!
I had a little kid moment, while I was taking the glob apart. I wanted to see just how this thing worked. After getting it apart I was able to pop that dent right back out.
I painted the inside of the glob a shiny metallic blue, and lined the edges with some brown ribbon.
Poof! Lamp Shades!
.
As fun as these are, they will be up in the shop soon. Just as soon as I can find a cheep pair of lamp bases that aren't ones that I want to keep. Non the less, I wanted to share what I pulled off with only $1.
