Description

Still have some leftover wallpaper? Make this pretty lamp to match your walls

Instructions

1. 

   Here is all you need

2. 

   Cut the top edge of a cream jar. The resulting ring will be the top of the lamp Keep the other jar whole - this will be the base of the lamp Color the edges of the pots with the permanent marker Measure the length of the edge which will be the width of the piece of wallpaper

3. 

   - Choose the height of the lamp as you wish - Cut out the rectangle of wallpaper - Make openings with a cutter to let the light through: here I chose to make slits superimposed on the shapes of the drawing like a slightly loose braid - Roll the rectangle into a cylinder and close it on itself using double-sided tape.

4. 

   -Place the cylinder on the pot serving as a base and hold the top of the cylinder with the ring - Place the light on the base

5. 

   You are done
