Thread: Remake* Skull Lamps

Tweet

Nice job DS!! Sorry I didn't see your lamps earlier. Those will make a beautiful set! I like the taller lamps you used, they will definitely stand out more. Nice

I saw this and thought it was awesome and knew I had to make one so I did. I am not quite finished. I need to add some moss in between the posts and the top of the cauldron. I am also going to add the cheese cloth on the lamp shade. The lamp shade that came with the lamp is a bit big but saw some at Good Will for about $2.


More detailed pics on my website.

Here is the breakdown of what I spent
Lamp $4 with shade (local resale shop)
3 Skulls $5.97 (Garden Ridge)
Cauldron $1.99 (Garden Ridge)
Moss (to be determined, haven't got it yet)
All of the other supplies I had laying around:
Brown spray paint
PVC pipe
4"x4" block
Rocks
Glue
Extension Cord
Cheese cloth (not yet pictured)

Great Job!
I love it that there can be so many different takes on this project. I am working on another one for my family Room.

They look really cool, now I gotta make one of my own.

Thinking about some of my own as well, i have to say i love them but looking for some ideas on a tall floor lamp version. I have a tall lamp that has been in the garage for awhile now that i use when repainting rooms, it is prolly about 6 feet tall with a normal globe on the top, thinking about painting the globe so it looks like blood is dripping down but the pole is where i am torn....first thought is to do the same thing with body parts, leg arm some things like that but i am worried that it will come out too cheesy, and i love the idea i saw on this thread about a full size skeleton but i have some of those already, just want something different!

Here is an updated picture. I still have to put the cheesecloth on the lampshade. I also haven't decided if I am going to put cobwebs on it or not. Once I make my web shooter I am going to decide.

Here is the final picture of the lamp. I haven't decided if I am putting cobwebs on it but if I do I will post that pic also.

Nice job. Are those little skulls in the bottom?

Yes. There is a list of everything I bought and where on my website.

Creepy cool! I have a few old antiquey looking lamps already that could take this treatment nicely, but it won't fit my pirate cemetary for this year. I might do this for next year anyway because it looks so good!
