Light sconce turned herb pot

By 12 Comments

Howdy there everyone!

Hope all is well and you enjoyed your  weekend.  They always go by so fast don’t they?!

Today I am sharing a light sconce turned herb pot.3 ingredients only cool whip cakeI have been into the herbs this summer:)

Every since I made a terra cotta herb pot,

and now drinking Herb water, which I am loving btw. 

I enjoy having the herbs in my kitchen and think they not only are useful, but look pretty too.

So with that said, the other day I was cleaning out a closet.

I came across this light sconce that we no longer use.

My blogging friend Julie from Red head can decorate made a cute and clever Planter out of ceiling fan sconces and my wheels started turning.

I really did not have to do anything to this but turn it upside down and pop my herbs in.

I did however, have to make a cute little stand.

I happened to have a glass candle holder from the dollar tree, and the terra cotta pot plate.

So out came some rit dye

and mod podge.

I have painted on glass now many times with Mod podge and rit dye and I love the results.

Please do check out my Rit dye gallery for more ideas.

I have now seen some girls do the same out in blog land and they apparently are enjoying my idea.  In fact, so are my readers because they have sent me pictures of their creations and I love what y’all are doing with it!

First I paint the mod podge on the glass and let dry.  Not always completely, sometimes I do, sometimes I don’t.  It’s all an experiment so make it what you will.

Then I paint the rit dye straight up on the glass

You can see how it dries and takes on a pretty almost crackled texture.

For the terra cotta plate all I did was paint the rit dye straight up on there and use some glaze

to finish the look.

Again, check out my Rit dye gallery and you will see all these tutorials in full.

Now I have a one of a kind herb pot made from a light sconce.  These are pretty cheap to begin with so you can pick up a few from your hardware store and make an entire herb garden of your own in your kitchen.

I wanted to show you my latest antique find.

This was an old paper cutter turned paper towel holder. It was perfect for our kitchen.

    Clever idea, Debbie! I had a bunch of little glass pieces like this a few years ago {before we moved and I cleared things out} that would have been perfect for this project. I’m sure that they can be found at Goodwill or Salvation Army though.

    Cute!
    I just salvaged a metal heat lamp(industrial kitchen type) from the shed tear down a few weeks ago– I jokingly said to the hubby…”hey, that would make a cool planter”,( it’s a double light, so two side by side vase shapes)
    I went outside after the junk man left — hubby called him to haul all the junk away– and there sat the lamp… The Honey saved it for me. 😀
    He speaks my language.
