Instructions

For the mini lighthouse

Step 1:

Primer the vase and saucers first. Take the sandstone texture paint and spray it into the metal vase. Next, take your saucer and metal wreath and paint them in black.

Step 2:

Take the base saucer and glue the metal vase upside down. Place some objects on top and let the glue dry completely.

Step 3:

Take your rope and stain it with black paint. Once dry, wrap it four times on the base and the top. Start back down about 2 inches from the top edge and glue them. On the bottom, after you wrapped it four times, make a few curves with the rope then insert the anchor. Wrap the rope around the anchor three times, then glue it.

Step 4:

Glue the other saucer on the top right side up.

Step 5:

Fill the outdoor light with cork so it will be flushed on the bottom. After that, glue the metal wreath on the top saucer followed by the light.

Step 6:

Paint the wooden ring and craft foam in black and glue for the window.

Step 7:

Wrap the end of the light with rope.
