DIY Seashell Lamp

Here’s what I used to make the DIY Seashell Lamp:

• etchall® Lighten Up Kit
• etchall® Etching Creme (4 oz)(*affiliate link) 
• Folk Art 30465 Peel and Stick Painting Stencil, Happy Words*

1. Clean mason the jar to remove all dirt, fingerprints and oil. Dry with a coffee filter, paper towel, or lint-free cloth.
2. Mask off a 1″ area around the mason jar with removable painters tape.
3. Apply a heavy coat of etchall® etching crème to the masked area using the etchall® squeegee. Leave etching crème on for 15 minutes. After etching time has elapsed, use the squeegee to return the crème back into the original container for later re-use.
4. Rinse etched surface with hot water to remove any remaining crème. Remember to keep crème away from porcelain or ceramic tiles.

1. Dry mason jar and apply the “relax” peel and stick stencil onto the middle of the first side. Mask the sides of the stencil with removable painter’s tape.
2. Using a stencil brush and the multi surface paint, fill in the open areas of the stencil.
3. Carefully remove stencil and clean before stenciling on the other three sides of the jar.
4. Fill Jar with sand and shells.

1. Using the plastic sleeve template, trace onto a piece of burlap. Cut the burlap leaving a 1/2″ allowance around traced template.
2. Use spray adhesive to coat the back of the burlap. Apply onto the lampshade and trim.

• Glue twine around edge of lampshade.
• Optional: The top of the shade is removable so I spray painted it black.

The Lighten Up Kit is pretty easy to customize. Lots of possibilities. It comes with a self-illuminating lampshade with LED lights, template and instructions guide. It uses 3 AA batteries so it’s portable and can be used almost anywhere.
