Hi everyone!
My friend Holly, from Bella Nest is guest posting today. I LOVE so many of her projects and this one is no exception! This is such a cool idea and her results are beautiful!
So, without further ado ....here's Holly!
It's so exciting to be here at one of my most favorite blogs! Katie is such a sweet friend and we share a love for Jesus, so I guess you could say we're sisters! I've met some of the sweetest people since I started blogging last October. I get so blessed reading your posts and seeing your crafty ideas come to life!
It all started with a red lampshade that was just sitting in the closet.
After ripping the fabric off, I used my wire cutters and pliers to attach the chicken wire then gave it a couple coats of white Krylon Dual spray paint.
My plan was to keep it like this, but the more I stared at it,
it started to scream,
"D o l l m e u p !"
So I hot glued some French gimp to the top and bottom
{if I'd had more, I would've added it to the 4 sides as well...but unfortunately I cleaned Hancocks out!}
I made rosettes out of muslin, rhinestone buttons, and this broach...
...and added some peacock feathers.
I had it on a black lamp base, but like it on the turquoise better...
Thank you for checking out my chicken wire lampshade! I hope you like it!
I'd love for you to stop by Bella Nest and say hello!
Big Hugs 2 U,
Holly - I have said it more then once- and I will say it again... Amazing work my friend! I love your chicken wire lampshade and love how you dolled her up! so so cute!! Thank you so much for sharing! -Jen
ReplyDeleteYou are such a sweetie pie!! I just went to F.M.&O.V. and saw your Chef's Challenge. I'm going to post it up at B.N. too. =0)
DeleteThis is one of those projects that just makes me go hmmmm. Then I just go, wow. Then I say, thank goodness I can do this without sewing and add old lampshades to my garage sale list.
