Fantasy Friday!

Sorry this is late, Friday was crazy (and not too fantastic). But, I suppose it's better late than never!

The craft I decided to show you guys today is just an easy starter but it's also really great! You can make this pretty cute and very you. Plus, this is one of the projects I did that really showed me that I loved to do this kind of thing! I got this idea off of one of the most fantastic blogs in the world: A Beautiful Mess. You should check it out! So anyways, this is the Doily Covered Lamp Shade Project. ENJOY!

Doily Covered Lamp Shade Project

Have you ever found a perfect lamp but just with a damaged shade? If so, this is for you!

1. Find an old, beat up lamp shade.

2. Remove all the fabric or fiberglass surrounding the lamp shade so that all that's left is the skeleton.

3. Lay the doilies out in the deminsions of your lamp shade (measure height and width) then stitch them together with white embroidery floss.

4. Once you have the desired pattern, begin attaching it onto the lamp by stitching them to the frame all the way around!

I love the look of this one! Vintage style is one of my favorites, and I also just love making new things out of the old! An instant dose of beautiful. I hope you found this as enjoyable as I did, and even if you didn't, I hope you at least gave it a shot. Stay tuned for the next Fantasy Friday! Have a simply splendid weekend! -Rachel Jenkins :)
