Well everybody, I am back with another really inexpensive idea. This week I want to tell you how to have beautiful, lighted wall sconces, without any electricity at all. Cute Huh?
Start with the battery operated push on lights, that you can purchase at any department store. You can find them in packs of 6 or 8 for as little as ten dollars. Mount them on the wall where you would like your sconces, next figure out your lampshade. You could cut an old lamp shade in half, turn it upside down and secure it to the wall. That is a great idea, but use your imagination, like we discussed last week you could also cut a wicker basket in half, that is really cute. BUT, what about a straw hat, this one is my favorite to date.
Though the possibilities are endless. Let me know if you come up with something really unique. Remember, the only limit you have is your own imagination. To secure the basket or lampshades, I like to use cup hooks down the side and screwed directly into the wall. To secure things like straw hats, I prefer to use a staple gun. If you have an idea but are unsure of how to secure it or have any other problems, contact me, I bet we can figure it out.
