Mason Jar Lamps

Here is another addition to my Master bedroom makeover. I am going for a sort of beachy theme, as I LOVE the ocean & beach. 

These were VERY EASY to make. I started out with 2 Antique Mason jars that I had collected years ago (I made a pair of lamps).

I filled them with those glass marble gems (it took about 2 bags for each lamp) which I got at the Dollar Tree. Then I drilled a hole in the lids for the lamp kit to attach to (I got my lamp kit from Menards for around $7 each). I then attached the lamp kit with the screws that came with it. Add the light bulb & shade I got from Kmart on clearance for $5.99 each.

Here is the end result.

Wall of Crosses

I am in the process of giving my Master bedroom a mini makeover. I have been collecting crosses for the past few years and have used them in my decorating. But recently I got the idea to group them all together for a bigger impact. The one wall in my Master bedroom has been blank for a while now & I thought it would be the perfect spot. 

I had quite a few crosses that I have accumulated over the past couple years, but I felt I needed a few more to make the statement wall. I happened to be in the Dollar Tree this week and found these beauties at 4 for $1. They must have been rejects & leftovers from Christmas last year because of their clearance price. I scooped up 4 different styles & headed home. I had the perfect spot for them.

Here is how I made them over:

I started by cutting off the gold string they each had...I am guessing they were meant to be a Christmas ornament.

Then I spray painted them each a different metallic spray paint color. (Silver, Copper, Black & Hammered Bronze...all leftover from previous projects).

Here are they are before:

And after:

Silver

Copper

Hammered Bronze

Black

Here is the whole wall of crosses:

I LOVE how this wall turned out!
