We have been slowly redoing miss J’s room lately. She loves nature, so I am trying to incorporate a lot of things that go with that. This lamp shade used to be a ribbon chandelier I made, but we changed it into a “bird cage”.
I wrapped all the wires with fabric strips, except for the top middle. Then I crocheted yarn around the top. I glued in some sticks for the birds to sit on and lastly glued on a ton of different trims to hang at the bottom.
I have seen things like this made before and was so happy I was able to make one. I told miss J if she ever grows tired of it, I will more than happily take it off her hands 😉

September 27, 2013 at 5:08 pmLove the lamp shade …. I made my Christmas tree out of old lamp shades last year, kept the top one out with birds on and put it on a lamp in the front room….

October 1, 2013 at 10:36 pmThank you 🙂 It really didn’t take too long. Under two hours, and that was with miss E interrupting me a lot 😉
