Yes, those are earring backs for non-pierced ears. The little screw tightens the earring to the earlobe. I used to use them. But they made my earlobes pretty sore most of the time! Beautiful wall lights!! I just love how you design these things! ❤

@@tinykeyholeminisa good use for these! It’s hard to find the ones with the prongs anymore but if you are looking to replace your stash later they are called “screw-back” earring findings. I haven’t seen them in base metals (which the ones you have look to be) but have seen them in surgical steel, gold-filled and sterling. Yeah, I know, a little spendy. Fire Mountain Gems in OR sells them in large quantities and that makes them a whole lot more affordable. (I have a concern about the hot glue guns and I hope you are in a well ventilated space… heating up plastics (that aren’t meant for food) can release phthalates which are carcinogenic. I’m living with someone who’s undergoing chemo so please take this seriously. It’s awful.)

Jolene, I'm blown away by these amazing fixtures! I love that you used those hollow metal "shapes", I think you called them. Just like real gaslights! I LOVED watching you create the "glass" using your glue gun. Wow! So clever. You just keep getting more and more creative with all your work. They look amazing on the wall and utterly authentic! You brilliant you! 😍✨

Hi Miss Tinykeyholeminis, I love these gas lamps, they're gorgeous 😍 For the glass tubing you can also use plastic pipettes from art shops. You can buy a big bag of them for about $2, and they last forever because they're long tubes and you only need a small piece for each lamp. I like how you use jewellery findings, like bead caps and tiny screws, to add realistic detail. Thank you for a great video tutorial. Love from Amanda Jones in Melbourne, Australia ❤❤❤

Thank you so much, Amanda. I appreciate the kind comment. Thank you for the info on the plastic pipettes. They sound useful for sure, I'll have to check those out. Oh, I definitely had those on my list, but I didn't know that's what they were called. Thank you so much!❤️🥰

Such a good idea of Melanie’s to make gas lights. They just look amazing and suit the house so much. I keep scouring the charity shops for ‘bits’ that might work for things like this, but not had much luck so far…but I’m sure I will. I’ve got some of the components I’ll need to make a light bulb type fitting, but not all yet. 😊

I'm a new subscriber. I really like these lamps. PS The things you used to make your lamps, those are for earings. This was before pierced ears became popular. You would turn the knobs to clamp them onto your ear lobes. Another type of earing actually utilized a clamp, you would clamp them onto your ear.

I like your tube shaping! I’ve seen one tutorial doing the same technique but they ran it under water so I’m glad I wouldn’t need to do that. lol! But they are beautiful. And the copper in the bulb makes it look like a working light like the old ones we grew up with.

@tinykeyholeminis 5 ай бұрын

Thank you so much. I haven't seen the water trick, but I have seen people heating up the bigger ones to bend as they are harder to shape. But then you lose the color if you want to keep it. Nope, there is no need for either on the smaller ones, and you can easily file the opening back to shape after cutting. ❤️🥰

I start with a base of black acrylic or chalk paint. Chalk paint works better on metals. And I use a variety of brands and colors. Mostly folkart Metallic paints. Antique gold, antique copper, silver, even rose gold. Or I will use chrome paint. I used antique copper for these, then I finished off with a little of antique gold rub and buff. That comes in all the colors if you can find it. I only have antique gold. Hope this helps.🥰❤️
