I LOOK AT THE WORLD AND I SEE IT IS TURNING

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.
