 This night light is the bottom of a "Gone With The Wind" Lamp. I just placed a votive holder and candle inside the shade and it casts a gentle romantic light. Make sure that you do not completely cover up the hole in the bottom or your candle will go out. |
|
 You could also wire it with a small "Snap-in-Pigtail Socket" that holds a Christmas-Tree- size light bulb. |

 The metal base and top cap were a little worn, so I freshened up the finish on both pieces with Rub ‘n Buff Antique Gold, Jade and Chinese Red. |

| When I found this lamp it was just missing the top shade, I have used the metal rim that supported the top globe in another project called the "Tea Tray Table". Resources: Rub 'n Buff by Amaco is magical! Most Craft Stores only carry the silver & gold, but there are many more wonderful colors/tints available. The following are some Online suppliers I have located: www.createforless.com This place has great prices. www.framingsupplies.com The prices are very good, and they also have many other unique supplies. I plan to spend a little more time checking out this site. www.mccallisters.com Their prices here are not discounted, however, they do have a very good selection. Also, this is the only place I have ordered from. I plan to try the other places listed, and will update this page when I have more information. Comments: If you have never tried the Rub n' Buff products, you are missing out on a "Golden" opportunity. This product, combined with Folk Art Paints, can turn very plain and ordinary items into real "Gems & Jewels". When you use Rub n' Buff, it works best to apply it with your finger. The product has a wax base, so the body heat helps make the paint transfer more evenly. |
