ikea maskros lamp

There are so many fabulous versions of this Ikea maskros lamp. Here is one I did about a year ago for our store in Chattanooga.   I started with some paper bowls and I used curved nail scissors to cut out a flower shape.

I painted the insides with left over pink ceiling paint.

The outsides had a woven texture to them and I loved how the gold paint from Martha Stewart looked on them.

I painted the inside of the lamp with gold spray paint and then hot glued on the bowls.

I was thrilled with the outcome.  The one negative was that the bowls were a little heavy so the top ones leaned down a bit.  I am sure no one else would notice. 

This was not a quick project but I enjoyed the slow cutting part.  It was kind of like having a needlepoint project.

Now on to all of the other projects that I have started but not finished....

I hope that your Monday is off to a great start!
