Lampshade copycat

One of my favorite stores to browse through

 during the holiday season
 is Pier 1

The colors, scents, ornaments, wreaths, pillows, and holiday cheer

makes me feel like a Christmas elf in paradise!

A few weeks back, I was strolling the aisles and saw a beauty of a lamp-

The lampshade took my breath away-

I examined it and thought-

humm...

I may be able to copy it-

so I tried..

I began with the lampshade and the flat sheet-

cut the sheet into strips-

Then twisted each strip

 dabbing hot glue along the way

(burning my fingers into little blister rosettes!!)

until it became a circlet of fabric-

In each center-

glue a few plastic clear jewels-

I gently glued them around the edge of the lampshade!

And this is how it looks...

I so love it

It looks just like it-

well....maybe not exactly
but similiar!!
And without the $99 price tag!!

 

 I had the lampshade-

I bought a twin flat sheet for $5 at Walmart-

and the clear jewels were from my scrapbooking stash-

woohoo!!!

Love when that happens!!

A project I love

for almost no MONEY!!


Well, take care, gotta fly- Claire
