SMILE SPREADS BRIGHTNESS.... AN ALTERED MASON JAR, LAMP


Hello friends....
Hope all are doing great !!! 
Greeting everyone  with a big smile ....and yes there is always a reason to smile !!!  'I choose to face whatever comes my way with a smile and be the reason to bring smiles as well....... spreading brightness and happiness around' ....my mason jar expresses exactly that !!!



I had a  mason jar lying at my home with a  broken lid and was no longer in use, however it had many makeover possibilities. I altered it  to make a beautiful table lamp, using decoupage technique and the recently launched, new thin cut dies of Itsy Bitsy. 
The altered jar is my DT creation for Itsy Bitsy and you can view the step wise picture tutorial for the same here.

Sharing some interesting picture of the altered mason jar table lamp.

The altered mason jar lamp adds warmth to the decor, bringing in elements of nature and creating a cosy corner in the home.  The die cuts have added so much depth and interest  to the decoupage work. Had never thought about them in this way before.....They help me build a garden scene on the mason jar. 

To light up the lamp, you can use a strip or string led light , that can be inserted from the mouth of the jar.


Hope I have inspired you to put together different techniques and materials to transform an ordinary object to beautiful decor piece.

Keep Smiling and take care till we meet again.

Create, Express, Enjoy !!!
