Description

My pesky cat ripped through a paper shade lamp I had so i used fused plastic (ironing plastic bags in between wax paper) to create a new lamp shade. I stitched it up by hand using embroidery threads at the top and bottom and voila!

Material Notes

wax paper, an iron, plastic bags.

    Oh, just beautiful. I wonder if it’s better than the original shade?

    By the way, I also used this method to make place mats… it’s really cool and clears out the plastic bags from under the sink! ;)

    @Kif: to have the pattern in it i used something like this… but with a pattern that happened to match the colours of my duvet cover and walls/curtains… look at this picture

    I love it. I have a paper lamp at home which my dogs have ripped. I am also interested in how you made the pattern.

    How did you get the pattern in it? How-to maybe? Please?
