== Overview ==<br />
I decided to do this project after seeing a lamp similar to this on Etsy. The project I found was of the New York City skyline. There was also a link for a tutorial for it on threadbanger. I considered doing multiple things for the lamp, but decided to go with the Memphis skyline for my first lamp. I collected the items for under $30 and got to work. On my first attempt I used elmer's glue, just like in the tutorial. Using elmer's glue is a headache and I do not suggest it. Thought it can be dangerous, the hot glue gun is your friend. It is easier to use, and you get cleaner, more precise result. <br />
