Cozy Cabin Stair Lights

These are the lights that I am working on for the newel posts on my stairs.



The base and the top are both made from jewelry pieces that I found at the local hobby store.  The glass part is made from an inexpensive plastic storage tube that was also in the jewelry section.  They also had some tiny firefly pieces that I am considering adding.


This was my first experience with paint-on stained glass treatment.  I was using the large color picture as a kind of go-by for the glass.


Here are the 3 pieces placed together, not glued yet.


I am using a standard 12 Volt single bulb in each one from Houseworks


I still need to feed the light ( shown on the floor) through the post.  I want to sand the newel post a little smoother before I glue everything into place.
