DOLLHOUSE LAMPSHADE

One of those pretty, vintage-looking things you never need in real life, but are an absolute must in your dollhouse. Here is what you'll need to make it yourself:

1. Florist's wire (or the wire from champagne cork);
2. Popsicle stick;
3. Fabric and a piece of nice lace for decoration;
4. Polymer clay;
5. Glue;
6. A little piece of pipe cleaner or thick thread.

Bend the wire as directed below (or just add a bottom part to the champagne cork wire). Insert the popsicle stick.

Cut a circle from the fabric, big enough to cover your wire.

Wrap the wire and stuff the ends in.

Glue and fix with a pipe cleaner or thread, soaked in glue.

Glue on the decorative lace. You should end up with something like that:

Now cut a cross on the top of the lampshade cover and glue the formed triangles to the sides.

Fix a " bulb" of another pipe cleaner or thread piece, soaked in glue.

You are almost there! Make sure your fabric is nicely glued to the wire.

Make a little stand out of polymer clay. Bake as per the package instructions.

Put your lampshade stick in he stand hole (fix with glue if needed). And there you have it, your own personal vintage-looking lampshade!

Happy crafting!
