Mini Fabric Lamps
Post by Taylor Urban of www.itstaylormade.com
One of the very first things I ever “pinned” were these “Lamp Shades on a String” from Rebeccas DIY. They have been on my to-make list for months. When I first found this little project, it was only written in Swedish but I think she has an English version now. These are so cute and actually really fun to make, Finn even helped me a little 🙂 I love a simple project, and one that uses scraps.
What you need:
- Fabric Scraps
- Lights
- Mod Podge
- Clear Cups
Then you need holes in your cups…
Iron all of your scraps and then start cutting. I have a template HERE if you are using the same cups (9oz Hefty Brand).
Cover your cups with the Mod Podge and wrap fabric around. The template is cut for a little excess fabric and I just used more Mod Podge on that little lip.
Let them dry…
Push the lights into the holes.
Here is a little PSA: I posted a project about a year ago that involved tealights in a metal container near plastic and some commenters thought I had a death wish or something. I thought “its just a tealight people” and obviously I am always around when I burn candles. I write a craft blog not a manual on life…but if this project isn’t for you, just don’t make it and as always please be safe 🙂
The best part… plug them in, yay!
Look where they live now
I love them, I want to make some for every single room. Stay tuned later this week for a very ModPodge-tastic giveaway that I know you will LOVE!!
