I reciently made a lamp out of a Goldslager bottle using a gold glitter lamp. Now everyone who has seen it wants one! I had a very hard time finding a gold glitter doner lamp (I bought it on e-bay and paid way too much)!!! But I'd love to make these lamps for all my friends...if only I could find some gold glitter lamps. Anybody know where I can get them? Or better yet, how to make them? Any info would be appreciated! (If you want to look at the lamp I have a photo of it in my photos.)
The base was a pain....I took a generic lava lamp base (too small) and cut 3/4 inch slits into it-straight down- about every half inch. Then I bent these out at a 90 degree angle and bent the edges up slightly so the lamp won't fall off if bumped. It was a bit of trouble, but it works like a charm!!! Now I gotta go drink another bottle to make another lamp.....such hard work! lol!
Great idea Bohdan!! I have had trouble with gold glitter too. I bought two lamps on e-bay. One worked great--used it for this lamp--the other has very small glitter that only goes up about 3 inches then falls back down. I'll look for the clear silver glitter lamps at Spencers. Their selection has been quite limited reciently.
