Full question:
Any suggestions to change the color of the base of an porcelain ginger jar style lamp? I do not want to spray paint the base, but am thinking of decoupage. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
My answer:
You can indeed decoupage it. You can also:
* Wrap the base in ribbon, jute twine, rope - anything like that.
* Wrap it vines, wire (for a hardware look), cording, etc.
* I saw a ginger jar lamp with bottlecaps epoxied to it (bottle caps are hot as a decorating tool lately - who’da thought)
* Use rub-ons, found in the scrapbooking section of crafts stores.
* I am working on a project bright now covering a lamp with eggshells.
You can use TONS of stuff besides paint, if paint is not your thing. Feel free to share with me what you decide to do.
