Guest Blogger - Coley's Corner - Wine Glass Lamps

Hi y'all! I am so excited to be guest blogging here at Someday Crafts today!

I'm Coley and my home on the web is called

Coley's Corner

and I share craft projects, recipes, cool photos, and write about and advocate for children with special needs, most specifically my son Noah who has cerebral palsy, epilepsy, and is borderline autistic.

A few of my most popular/favorite posts are:

Simple but Cute Teacher's Gift Idea (with free printable)

Chalkboard Christmas Ornaments

Bookcase Makeover

Today I'm going to teach you how to make these fun, easy, and inexpensive wine glass candle lamps for Halloween.

To make this project you are going to need:

2 wine glasses (Check thrift stores and The Dollar Stores to get them cheap.)

2 battery operated candles (I found these at The Dollar Store as well.)

Scrapbook Paper (If you are using 12 x 12 you can get 2 shades out of 1 sheet.)

Cardstock

Lamp Shade Template

Glitter Paint

Paint brush

Sticky Strip or Terrifically Tacky Tape

Dimensionals or Pop Dots

Scissors

What You'll Do:

1. Print out your template and cut it out. Trace it on to the back of your scrapbook paper and cut it out. (You may want to practice on a piece of scrap paper first just to make sure you don't need to adjust the template any to better fit the size of your particular wine glass.)

2. Cut a piece of sticky strip to fit the shade and place it on the back of the scrapbook paper which will be the inside of the shade.

3. Adhere the shade together using the sticky strip.

4. Now comes the fun part - decorate! Cut out a few little spiders out of cardstock. I used my Silhouette to do this but you could free hand them, find one online, or use a sticker. Paint the legs of your spiders with glitter paint just to give them a little shine.

5. Adhere your spiders to your shades using pop dots.

6. Add your candles to the wine glasses and pop on the shades!

So cute!

The great thing is you can easily make more shades to switch them up for different holidays......

Like Thanksgiving or Fall

Or for Christmas!

And don't forget every day!

Thanks Michelle for the opportunity to guest blog and I hope each of you will stop by my blog, Coley's Corner!

Pottery Barn(ish) Fabric Luminaries

Create a something you would see in a Pottery Barn catalog by adding some fabric to some dollar store glass jars to create gorgeous luminaries. I love how simple and yet stunning this idea is. You can see the easy details for this project at Sassy Style Redesign.

Bottlecap Candles

Miniature things are so cute! (Just like babies because they are miniatures!!!) I'm crushing on these candles made from bottlecaps at Craftaholics Anonymous. They are so little and and a great recycled craft.

I love anything candy corn, especially this candy corn candy jar! See how easy it is to make one at A Pumpkin and A Princess.

Make your own wheat topiary with this easy tutorial from Thrifty and Chic! Save your money!

This diagonal ruffle shirt made by Occasionally Crafty is different from any ruffle shirt I've seen. Love the angle of the ruffles!

This project by Quarry Orchard should only take a few minutes! She turned her white candles into ghosts with a few cuts of paper! I think you could do this with orange candles to make pumpkins!

Homework has a brilliant idea for all you fabric junkies out there. Make a fabric swatch ring to make viewing and coordinating your material easier!!! Yeah!

Every kid in a onesie needs a spooky one for Halloween season. I love this ghost onesie at Project Naptime!

Everyone needs at least one rain gutter bookshelf! These go perfect next to a bed! Jellybean Junkyard has a link to a tutorial to make one!

This would be so fun to do for Halloween! Agape Love shows us how to make a pumpkin carving template from a photo! I can see a whole family of faces on a front porch:)

If I could paint trees like this, I would. Isn't this entry way beautiful? Yeah, that is handpainted! See more at Then There Was Home.

There is still time to view more links at Whatever Goes Wednesday!
