DIY: Globe Lamp

This Globe Lamp DIY is an instant internet hit the past couple of days, so I could not resist to post is too, because I'm currently obsessed with globes (I mean, more than ever, because I've always loved globes!)

To get a nice lamp you need to find a pretty sphere, and it should be in glass. Many newer globes are made ​​of plastic and they are not that nice. It can be difficult to assess the condition of the glass globe with the map on.

Most map pieces were easy to pull off. The map pieces we save of course. They are beautiful and we can surely think of anything to do with them another time.

As you can see, it was a bit rubbish left on the globe. It is also covered with remnants of glue. Yet one can imagine how nice it will be.

With a little warm water and a sponge the glue and map residue is easily removed. Fasten the globe to the stand again and the lamp is ready.

The glass globe is beautiful both with the light on and off, and we are very happy with it. A broken flea market find became a unique lamp. Now we just have to figure out what to do with the remaining map pieces. Have a nice weekend!
