Fairy tree table lamp // Accessories holder

Hello crafters!

I'm back! *wipes tears 

FAIRY LIGHTS! Raise both your hands if you hate fairy lights. SEE! I knew you love fairy lights too.  *jokes :P

Well, have you ever face this problem when you were just about to snuggle in bed with your favorite music & your favorite cup of tea/hot cocoa, the BRIGHT WHITE light in your room just kills the mood? 

This fairy light will definitely level up the atmosphere, making it cosy and no other word but......cosy. 

Here's how I did it!

Materials needed:

Tree Branch of your choice (preferably 40-50cm): By the road *literally *laughs (FOC)

* Tips: Thicker and dried tree branches are stronger to hold on weight

Mason Jar (15cm depth): DAISO (RM5)

Wood Sandpaper: Any local hardware shop (RM0.80)

White Spray Paint: Mr.DIY (RM7)

Glitter (White): Typo (RM5 *on sale) 

Uhu Glue / multipurpose glue

And of course.......

Fairy Lights: Mr.DIY (RM 6.90)

Step 1:

Use a wood sandpaper to sand the tree branch for a smoother finish.

But if you're opting for a much more rustic finish, go ahead and skip this step :)

 

Step 2:

And of course, not all tree branches selected are perfect. Mine has quite a few unnecessary branches at the bottom. So I simply pluck them off.

Step 3:

Don't waste them! I glued them onto the top parts of the branch to make it look fuller at the the top which looks more like a tree.

Hold them in place for a minute or two till its completely dry.

Step 4:

The best part! Spray the branches entirely with a newspaper at the bottom to prevent staining the floor.

You will need to follow your spray paint instructions (as stated on the can) too before proceeding this part

*Tips: Do this outdoor. You won't want your house to stink. :P 

Step 5:

After the paint is dry, apply some glue onto the branches then sprinkle a generous amount of glitters.

Step 6:

Place the branch onto the Mason Jar followed by the fairy lights starting from the end until the jar is half filled.

Step 7:

Hang the remaining onto the branches at random.

Try to hang them equally on all sides as it might topple due to imbalance weight.

DONE!

How about making it more practical? ;)

Step 8 (Additional):

I used it as an accessory holder to place all my necklaces.

Customize them in different colors and sizes too!
