Okay so I totally know it is August and 90 something degrees outside but I’m dreaming of cooler temperatures. And truth be told I was challenged by Lamps Plus and Hometalk to give a clear fillable lamp a holiday makeover! Since our little one is due to arrive around December 6th it doesn’t hurt me to get a head start right? To makeover your holiday lamp you will need – pine cones, glitter, spray adhesive, ribbon, small ornaments, and a clear fillable lamp like this one from Lamps Plus. Thanks to my fabulous mother-in-law pine cones will never be in shortage around this house!Start off by spraying your pine cones with adhesive. Give them a light dusting of glitter and set aside. I did 9 pine cones in various sizes.Once you are done with your glitter cones your hands will probably look something like this … Nice huh? Unscrew your lamp from the base and begin to fill your lamp with glittered pine cones, regular pine cones, and small sparkly ornaments. I added ribbon around the entire shade and made a fun wire ribbon flower. It was so easy to transform this lamp and very inexpensive too! I can’t wait to decorate the lamp for other holidays. And if you have a spouse who isn’t too fond of giant ribbon flowers this shade looks just as good without the flower!

So pretty!! Reminds me of a winter wonderland – which is nice to think about it this crazy heat wave we are getting right now! I love how this lamp can be tailored for your own decor and for any seasonal theme! Pinned!

I love the fillable lamp base… and using pine cones is so smart! And with all the glitter contained inside the lamp base, you don’t have to worry about it making a mess all over the house. That’s my kind of glitter crafting!! 😀

That fillable lamp base is so cool! Our living room is decorated as a Woodland Winter theme (I sort of made that term up, ha ha!) so your pine cones would fit right in with my rustic decor. Pinned!
