We cover the base of the lamp with two layers of bronze-colored paint and leave to dry.

Apply craquelure varnish, moving the brush in one direction, for example, only from top to bottom. Let it dry for one and a half to two hours. We check the readiness of the lamp for further work with a finger; it should only slightly stick to the surface. You should check it carefully in an inconspicuous place so as not to leave fingerprints.

Mix white, blue and green paints to create a pastel turquoise color. To do this, add a little blue and a drop of green to the white paint, now mix to a uniform soft turquoise shade. We cover the base of the lamp with paint, remembering that you cannot move the brush twice over the same place. We are waiting for the craquelure effect to appear.

After the cracked layer has dried, we proceed to decoupage. We cut out flower arrangements from a napkin, separate the top layer and try them on the lamp.

To glue flowers, it is convenient to use a file. Place the design on the file with the wrong side facing you, and moisten the surface of the napkin with a brush and water.

    I really love all kinds of lamps, I constantly look around in stores, but until now I didn’t think that I could make the lamp of my dreams myself! And you don’t need much for this.
