Step 1
Gather your supplies:
- The wood plaque I purchased at Michael's craft store
- The Copper wire string lights I purchase at Orchard for less than $10
- The glass globe (light fixture) I purchased at Orchard for $5
- The Wood Varnish I purchased from Orchard for $7 (but I will reuse tons more times).
Step 2
Put on your dish washing gloves and add a little wood stain to a rag and spread in a circular motion on the wood plaque.
Step 3
Let dry for about 20 minutes
Step 4
Stick on the sticky copper ribbon to the rim of the glass globe.
Step 5
Insert the copper wire lights and glue the rim of the globe then place over the plaque and let dry for 20 minutes.
Step 6
Add three double A batteries to the copper string light pack and it's ready to shine! I keep it on my desk and turn it on day or night...it makes me happy!
