About: We're Mother Daughter Projects, sharing our DIY adventures as we learn to maintain, improve, decorate, and use tech in our homes.
I (Steph) had the idea to make a concrete light complete with concrete lamp shade (which we hadn't seen done before) so we decided to give it a try!

Step 3: Fill Bottle With Concrete and Place Pvc Pipe in Middle

The PVC cap cast inside the shade attaches to the PVC pipe inside the base for a nice tight fit! We were really happy with how this turned out that we decided to make another version, this time incorporating el wire!
