Over Christmas break I spent a little time sprucing up an old lamp. The final product looks like fancy flowers on a lamp shade. Should you decide to make one, it will most certainly brighten your day in so many ways.
This is one of many fabulous craft tutorials from the great lady at Design Sponge. It will take few hours of your time, but the result is worth it. My next plan is to try it in a bright color for extra flair!
What You'll Need:
- IKEA Klivsta Lamp Shade ($10.99)
- felt (1.5-3 yards or about 20 felt sheets from a craft store)
- hot glue gun
- scissors
- hot glue gun
- scissors
Directions:
1. Cut out hundreds of felt circles, approximately one or two inches in diameter. They can vary a little and do not need to be perfect circles.
2. Fold the felt circle in half and put a small line of glue down the center crease. Place petal down onto shade and secure the crease to the surface. Keep adding as many as you want, and overlap some to fill the entire surface. Folding some of the petals in quarters looks nice too.
