Moroccan Lamp Shade - Simple Crafts
I had a star paper lamp that ripped recently so I needed a new shade to cover it and thought why not make one? I used an old punching technique (much like those used in old tin lanterns) and went to town making a fun moroccan design for a new shade. This shade is super simple! You just punch the design of your choice into a piece of paper and then wrap it around some lamp rings. Add a touch of glue and ribbon and you are done!
Look at all those beautiful shapes cast on the wall! I think it would perhaps be fun to punch words into the shade and see them cast on the wall! I might have to give it a go!
SUPPLIES: -Piece of Black Paper (or color of your choice) -Printed Pattern / Graphic -Piece of Foam -Lamp Rings (Bottom / Top Clamp Ring) -2" Ribbon) -Clips / Clamps -Glue -Paintbrush -Pencil -Punching Tools in varying sizes (I used a seam ripper and a knitting needle) -Lamp Base (Not Pictured) -Cutter / Scissors (Not Pictured)
