What you'll need...
What you'll do...
1. Tie first color of yarn around inside of lamp, knotting once for slackers or twice for comfort & security.
2. Wrap yarn around the shade creating random angles & triangles, doubling up your lines, tripling or creating a symmetrical pattern - I had no rhyme or reason for my lines and just went with my gut. Finish by tying a knot at one of the three bars just the same as you did when beginning.
3. Repeat process with the second & third colors of yarn, wrapping around as many as you'd like or as little.
And voila! You are done with your lamp shade. Here was my final product.
I was very nervous when I began but it's a very easy-going project that requires little effort & time with a fun end-product. Plus, I don't believe there's any way you could possibly screw up. (FYI, the base was $20 at Target so my whole project cost $40! Far cheaper than a similar one I saw in a catalog for $130.)
What do you think - fabulous or a flop? Would you try this at home?
