Igloo Lamp

Igloo Lamp
Build yourself a colored or no colored lamp to give your little north pole buddies a place to live and some "cool" lighting! Very customizable as well!

OK maybe its not the most function lamp for yourself but like I said if you happen to have made/have some little "northern" figures in the process its gives them a place to party it up and have a rave every night, all night long.

Step 1Collection of materials

Collection of materials
All the materials we used we got at your local Walmart.

1 First off your going to need some form or frame for your igloo. This is probably the most difficult thing to find. At first we looked for a plastic or glass bowl but they all have flat tops and we though they wouldn't look "igloo" enough so we actually settled on a fruit basket centerpiece. We actually used the outside metal part because we decide the penguin and polar bear who were living inside would want a balcony.

2 Lots and lots of packing tape, the clearer the better.

3 Plenty of quick drying clay.

4 Paint, preferably white however you could have a blue, green, or pink igloo if you really want to.

5 A light socket and florescent light bulb.

6 Cardboard or wood if you wanna be pro for the base.

7 Bottom half of a pop can.

8 And like the packing tape more glue that you think you will need, I recommend using the old school white glue we all used (and some of us ate) in kindergarten.

This looks really cool, you could paint the cardboard base white so it looks snowy.
