Also, be sure to tape off the interior electrical socket so no paint will come in contact with it or the inside of it for safety purposes once the light is in use.<\/li>\n<li>Paint the inside with the metallic spray paint in one or two light coats, and let dry.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Now all you have to do is hang the light with the hook included in the kit with a low wattage bulb and you\u2019ll be left with your new conversation piece. Be very certain to only use low wattage bulbs just to ensure the safety of the paint and its surroundings.<\/p>\n<p>Photos and tutorial by Ashley Rose of <a href=\"http:\/\/sugarandcloth.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sugar &amp; Cloth<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello again!!
