~ EVERYTHING COMING UP ROSES~

Hello girls...Welcome once again it'sPINK Saturday, Now this is not just any PINK Saturday but its my 100 Post give away...Please go by and see our hostess Beverly at How Sweet the Sound to see all the PINKness waiting you today...

Now see this sweet little PINK Rose tea cup...of course you do !! Now this is not just any old Tea cup...but its a lamp I am making for someone here in Bloggerville for my 100 post give away...

Now as I only have the one I thought I would show you how to make a sweet tea cup lamp for your self...Here are the supplies you need...Oh forgot you also need your trusty Glue gun...

Now this is a piece of lace that I cut to fit the bottom of the little lamp shade...

Oh!! there that dang Glue gun...just glue the lace all the way around the bottom of the shade..You don't really have to do this I just like to give each shade a special little look...one of a kind thing...

I just love these little shades... the satin ribbon and satin bow with the tassel ...just darling...I got these shades at Jo-Ann fabric store like 5 years ago...I think I bought 30 of them..differ colors I have a home based business making Victorian Lamp shades and lamps that's why so many shades...

Now take some foam..this you can get at the Dollar store....cut it with a knife to fit the tea cup... then take your Glue gun and glue the foam inside the cup...

Next take your light and press it into the foam...I twist this around so I can get the imprint I need in the foam...

Now here you can see the imprint I made in the foam...

Then I take my knife again and cut out the imprint and made the hole deep enough to hold my light...Now for those that can't find the light's like I have...You also can get the candle lights at Dollar store and use them...if you use the ones with the brass stand on them you don't need to do the foam part...just hot glue the brass stand in the bottom of the cup...then add your moss around it...if you use a deep cup I suggest adding a small piece of foam at the bottom of the cup to bring the light up abit with...I have used both lights but these are my favorite ones to work with...

Then glue the light into the hole...Glue the saucer to the cup...Now see what you have so far...its starting to look like a little lamp

Then to cover up all the green foam...I take moss and glue it on top of foam...then I give it a hair cut to get rid of the moss hanging over the edge...put your light bulb in..

Now the next time I do is add some sweet little birds, flowers, eggs etc what ever you want you can add or just leave it with just the moss around the cup....I love to add a little spoon this also is hot glued right onto the saucer...

Now this is the finished tea cup lamp...these are so sweet as night lights in a bedroom or bathroom...I have one in Blue Willow in my kitchen that I leave on at night...

Here's what it looks like all lit up...isn't it cute ....of course it is...
