Broke Chic Project: Ziptie Lamp

Since I'm super crafty all the time I figured it was time that I start sharing some of my projects with you all. Starting with this super fun zip tie Lamp!

What you'll need:

1000 count 8 inch zip ties

1 lamp base

1 lamp shade

Spray paint (as many colors as you want)

square chicken wire (you can buy a big roll at Home Depot)

What you do:

Step 1: You need to peel the original lampshade off of the metal frame.

        

This is what you'll end up with:

Step 2: You need to spray your zip ties. I learned from doing this that you only need to spray one side. The way they hang you don't see that back side.

*IMPORTANT* YOU MUST LET THE ZIP TIES DRY FOR 24 HOURS BEFORE ATTACHING TO THE WIRES. (Learn from my mistakes!)

Step 3: Cut the chicken wire to fit around the lamp shade. I cut mine 50 squares wide by 20 squares high. It really depends on how big your metal shade frame is and how tall you want it to be.

Step 4: Attach the zip ties to the Chicken wire. 

NOTE: This is is how you will attach the chicken wire to the metal shade frame. 

Another NOTE: Be careful when you attach the zip ties because if you aren't it will peel the paint off. (Again, learn from my mistakes!)

And then you have a super amazeballs lamp!

I Have Found My Wedding Photographer.

Which is really funny, because I'm not even remotely close to getting married. I'm not even remotely close to DATING anyone. haha. Regardless, I have officially found my wedding photographer. Her name is Libby Fryer, she's from the UK and she's amazeballs! No. Lie.


Here is just one little picture Libby took from my our dear friends Lisa & Steve's vow renewal ceremony. The picture that got Libby a job as my future photographer.

Oh hey Lisa & Steve... Aren't you 2 just the cutest little couple ever! I am seriously sad I had to miss the ceremony! Boo, Hiss! I'll be at the next one! I think it should be every 11 years. Symbolic. 

This pic didn't really hurt either.
