Night Led Lamp - Art from Waste

 Night Led Lamp -  Art from Waste


Things required:


Waste transparent Box

Glass paints ( Water or solvent)

Outliner ( I have taken black and gold)

Any design or free hand.

How to do:


I cleansed the box with screen cleaner solution. If you don't have it, you could use nail polish remover . It removes all dirt, and makes more clearer.




After cleansing, wipe it off with clean muslin cloth or cotton. Now  with the help of Glass outliner draw the design.

I have drawn free hand, if you are comfortable with free hand you could go ahead. Many simple floral designs are available on Internet, so you could use it.  Allow the outline to dry for 1 hour.








Gold outline




Once the outline completely dried, paint the glass colors using brush. You could use it directly, but sometimes it flow outwards, so use brush.

Finally, after the painted design dried, I inserted Led Lights,  in the box.




It looks so attractive and colorful. Night Led Lamp Decorative piece is ready.

Centerpiece Flower Decoration - Art from waste

Centerpiece Flower Decoration - Art from Waste

Things you'll require:

Old container/pot - ( I have used my moisturising glass pot)

Candle leftovers or you could use readymade candles available in shops.

Some artificial flowers


I have made candle by using left over wax. You need a thread and left over wax.  Melt the wax, and pour into the container (Note it should be glass container or terracotta pot - Do not use plastic bottles). Usage of plastic tends to melt, so avoid using it.

Before it turns into candle, you could insert the thread .


This how it looks after insertion of thread
