Materials: Melodi Lamp, shape print out, stencil sheets, stencil knife, thin brush, acrylic paint, tape
Description: When I bought this lamp, I already knew it was in for some changes. I didn't know exactly what I'd be doing, but then a light bulb went off (pun intended): stenciling!
I found the images that I wanted online, adjusted the sizes and printed them. The next step was to cut out stencils from the printed shapes. Using the inside of the stencil cut out, I used painter's tape to secure the shapes to the inside of the lamp. I then used acrylic paint and a thin brush to paint in the outline.

While this is an interesting hack, and I could see myself doing something similar in my new apartment that I'm moving in to this weekend (after a quick trip to ikea with the new roommie), as soon as I started reading it, I couldn't help but be reminded of the Portlandia skit "Put a bird on it!".
ReplyDeleteYay! Put a bird on it and it's art!
ReplyDeletelol- I promise I hadn't seen the skit! (just watched it) Hilarious... I still love my bird lamp :-)
