Supplies
- 1 Plastic bowl
- Black decor chain
- Great stuff
- Paint
- Wire, 18 gauge
First off was to make some flames with the great stuff. Pretty much like making seaweed from a few years ago, but not connected in one solid piece. I ended up trimming pieces off a few of them to make them a bit more flamey, but generally easy. I painted them with a layer of gold, then yellow and red. I painted the plastic bowl gold inside and then black on the outside (or rather, the design that was already on a black bowl)
Once everything was dried, I used a socket light to put the extender in and used the wire to make a loop that fit around the extender. I played with the chain a bit until I got a length that would be short enough to hide the bulb among the 'flames'. I drilled 3 holes in the bowl near the rim and attached the chain pieces, then attached the chain to the ring around the extender. Once all the chain was on, I went around the bowl and glued down the 'flames' around the rim. Then I hooked in my new light that can change colors and played with a few different looks. But ultimately, the orange light will go in this one.
