how about cheap places to find the glasses? I tried looking at dollar store places but none of them carry them. Big Lots had some decorated ones that might work but they were still $2 each. Walmart and Target were both useless as well. I'd love to make some but where can I find cheap, plain glasses to use?
I bought wineglasses for $10 a dozen (boxed in a dozen) at Bed Bath and Beyond this spring for my stamp class project. Garden Ridge also has them for $1 sometimes. My customers loved this project.

Hello everyone...

I would love to make these for my co-workers for Christmas gifts. I think these are the most elegant lamps. If you have the instructions please email them to me, I would really love you for that. Thank you so much

There is nothing to it! I use different shades of white papers for mine, too. I have one pictured in my gallery using USW and the Botanicals stamps.
Choose a shade pattern you like. Decorate it with your stamps. ( I added Dazzling Diamonds swirls to mine.)
Then I just cut out the pattern with patterned scissors on the top and bottom. The wave scissors work great for this. Leave the short sides of the pattern straight-edged.
I usually use the rectangle punch (in evenly spaced punches) along the bottom side so I can thread some organdy ribbon through it, but that's optional.
To adhere the shade, I just see how I want it to sit on my wine glass and then use a sticky strip to adhere it. I like to decorate the seam with 3 brads. The middle one I only punch through the top layer. The two sides I punch through both layers for extra hold.
I like to emboss or use the dazzling diamonds on the base of my wine glass so that it coordinates with the shade. I also add a wide organdy ribbon bow around the stem.
HTH!

Now THAT is the kind of price I was hoping for! I hadn't even thought of looking there. must be too obvious. :lol: I'll see if ours carries that kind of deal. Hopefully that wasn't a seasonal special or something.
I'll try a few more dollar stores, too; maybe just the first two I looked in had different stock or something. The other stores listed don't have locations here in Tallahassee. We might be a capitol city but we're still a pretty small place. Community-wise, that is great. Shopping-wise, it's a bummer.
