IMG_1889.JPG

Son needed a nightlight. Couldn't find a cool Pokemon one for him. So I made him this awesome POKEBALL.

Materials.JPG

IKEA FADO table lamp : $19.00

Home Depot Red Rustoleum Glossy Protective Enamel: $3.75

I had everything else in the garage, I don't remember how much it all was.

But you will need:

Masking Tape

Duct Tape

Bag

1.25" Circle

Blade

TAPE!

Use the bag to mask off the rest, add another layer of tape to secure it

PAINT IT!

Spray the red half. 6-8 inches, sweeping motion. You know how to do this....

I did 2 coats. Once dry, I peeled the tape and removed the bag. I added the Black Duct Tape.

I left the center to make room for the circle.

Circle IT!

I used the spray can as the template for the black outline of the dot.

Using two halves, the black circle wasn't perfect, but no fear, I used the can to trim the edges to perfection.

Then I punched out a circle from my pin machine hole punch. Its about 1.25". You can easily use a milk cap or a half dollar or freehand with the blade. cut out the circle. If there is red paint underneath, just scrape it with your fingernail. it should come off pretty easily.

DONEZO!
