***A Quick Note About Safety***<\/p>\n

One of my readers reminded me that it is important not to take anything for granted.\u00a0 Please remember that you are working with wire and that it is going on an electrical appliance.\u00a0 Please make sure that when in use, the wire does not come in contact with the either the prongs or the socket.\u00a0 Unplug before changing the light bulb.\u00a0 If you have concerns about the safety you could glue the tree to the light cover which comes with the nightlight.\u00a0 Thank you.<\/p>\n

In my last post I mentioned that I had been taken by the idea of lamp shades.\u00a0 What I really want to do is to do some silk painted shades, but I need to get some materials for that, so it will have to wait for a while.\u00a0 In the mean time, I also had some ideas for using glass beads to make a tree-like design for a lamp.\u00a0 I decided to do a proof of concept using a night-light.\u00a0 (A much smaller project.)\u00a0 I think it works rather well, but for a full sized table lamp, it’s going to take a lot of beads, and I think some heavier wire.\u00a0 I also thought I’d include a tutorial for how it’s done. But if you’d rather just buy it \ud83d\ude42 you will soon be able to purchase one like it at my Etsy<\/a> store. If you want the colors customized, contact me at exhalia@exhaliastudios.com.<\/p>\n
