| Christmas Glass Hurricane Lamps
|
 Glass hurricane lamps with candles add
a glow to a holiday table, especially
when they’re decorated with a holiday
motif. You can find these lamps, which
are quite inexpensive, in various sizes
in home centers. The lamp that I made
sports a design of a red bow, holly
leaves, and berries.
Materials:
- Red, green, and black water-soluble markers
- Glass hurricane lamps
- Tracing paper
- Tape
Instructions:
- You can use any design of your choice. Trace the complete design on
tracing paper .
- Make a slit at the top and bottom
of the tracing paper and tape the paper in position inside the hurricane
lamp. The slits help the paper conform to the shape of the lamp.
- Place one hand inside the lamp and press the tracing paper against
the glass. Use the other hand to fill in the color of each design element.
- The bow and berries are red, and the leaves are green. The markers
are easy to apply on the glass, and you can easily remove the ink with
a damp cloth if you make an error.
- When the leaves are dry, use the black marker to draw a line down
the center of each leaf as indicated on the tracing.
