We recently moved our son from his nursery to a new bedroom to make room for baby #2, and we figured a marvel theme for the new room would be pretty cool. So we got marvel bed sheets, a bunch of wall art, and had the room repainted (Thanks Mom!). Unfortunately, we could find a pull string lamp that we liked (the little guy likes to turn it on and off himself). I figured we could pick up a cheap lamp from target and re-theme it.
The base on the lamp we bought was way too narrow for our son to use with out tipping it over, so I bought a clock base from Michaels, stained it, sealed it with Mod Podge, and bolted it to the existing base.
For the lamp shade, I printed out some Spiderman comics and Mod Podged them over the existing shade.
I thought that it would be cool to set up the pull chain as Spideys web and hang him over the city. I 3D printed some buildings, painted them, and glued them to the base. Then I bought a small Spiderman and glued him to the base of the chain.
Overall, I am pretty happy with how it turned out.
