HURRICANE LAMP (Glass Vase Lamp)
Project by Sandi Reinke

No, its not stained glass, but who would ever know? Swirling shades of hunter, lemon and persimmon set the mood with this dramatic lamp. 12 “ tall, it is a gorgeous accent to use any place that can use a bit of glamour or pizzaz. We took ours to a professional lighting store to have them install the lighting, but you could do it yourself (get a kit at a craft or home improvement store), or, you might also want to place a glass enclosed votive inside and let a bit of twinkling firelight flicker through the colors.

4. Let dry overnight. When completely dry, apply two to three coats of an acrylic sealer.
PHOTO 5. Drill hole in the side, about 1-2" up from the bottom of the piece. You will need special drill bits that are designed for drilling glass if you plan to drill the holes yourself. To make a 1/4- to 3/8-inch hole, you will need at least four different sizes of drill bits, starting with the smallest and working up to the largest. Or, have a glass company drill a 3/8-inch hole in the bottom side of the piece.
PHOTO 6. Take the vase and light kit to a lighting store and have a professional install the light and wire it.
PHOTO 7. Hot glue the Gold Nugget Fringe to the top edge of the Beach Glass Compote.
