Scrappy Lampshade

27 Sep

We’ve added a new feature to our classroom.

A lampshade to hide the ugly lightbulb.

I saw this tutorial at The Pleated Poppy and thought it would look nice in our classroom. So off I went in search of a lampshade frame. They are really not that easy to find. I persevered and found one at a second-hand store for only 50¢! I had already bought the fabric which cost about $25, but I only used half of it. So the total cost for this lampshade was about $13.00!

This has made quite a difference to our classroom and it looks beautiful at night with the patterns reflecting on the ceiling.

    Hey!
    It looks fantastic.
    We love it.
    It does look nice on in your nightime photo.
    when do you get time to do that sort of thing?
    Oh, and by the way, your manicured nails look great too.

    Brilliant use of all those scraps. Though I agree it is very hard to find that type of lampshade ring.
