Stick some masking tape on an acetate piece and use cutting dies to cut star shapes. Stick the start to the lamps.
Cover the lamps with gesso or primer. Glue some string around the lamps, mine got some fabric leaves too. Glue all your embellishments and art stones. Let it all dry and cover with white gesso.
Use Lindy's Magicals to add color to your lamps. Spray water, sprinkle the pigments, spray more water. Dry. repeat until you are pleased with the results. Very gently unstick the masking tape. You can help yourself with a craft knife.
Use diluted gold acrylic paint to add some touches here and there. Highlight with metallic waxes.
