Turning a Lamp Into an Urn

I had this lamp for sale in my booth for a long time and it just would not sell.

You see it had cracks all over and through the graphics

Someone gave this to me.  Now, it was not my style anyway, but I appreciate that some people might like it, only I guess they didn't!

I decided to take it apart and see if I could do anything with it.  I had seen a long time ago where someone had made a vase from a lamp

(If it was you, I would love to link you up)

I used putty in the cracks then painted and glazed it and found a finial from my lamp parts box....How lucky was that, it fit!

I went to Graphic Fairy and made a water slide decal 

For the time being I am going to put it on my mantel

So, the next time someone gives you a lamp

And

You think it's ugly

And

It has cracks in it

And

It won't sell

Well, 

Now you know what to do with it!! LOL

Happy Creating!
