 Lamp
Shade Silhouettes....October 2000
© Copyright 2000 by AOK Corral Craft and Gift Bazaar.
All rights reserved.
Materials Needed:
-
Any smooth surface lamp shade
-
Kraft Paper (White is best)
-
Glue Stick
-
Scissors
-
Pencil
|
-
Light colored or White Cut-outs from
card stock paper. (Check the scrapbooking area of your local craft stores
for pre-cut shapes or use stencils on card stock paper to make your own.)
|
-
Lay the kraft paper out on a hard flat
surface.
-
Lay the lamp shade onto the paper on
its side. (Make sure you have enough room on the paper to roll the lamp
shade on its side a full semi-circle.)
-
With the lamp shade side seam against
the paper, make a mark on the paper at the seam line. (If there is no seam
line, make a mark on the shade instead.)
-
Being careful not to reposition the
lamp shade, start rolling the lamp while drawing lines your pencil against
the top and bottom rims of the lamp shade.
-
Continue rolling and drawing until
you reach the side seam line again.
-
Make a mark on the paper at that side
seam line also.
-
Connect all lines and carefully cut
out the semi-circle shape. (You should have a semi-circle as shown in Photo
1)
-
On the wrong side (the side that you
drew the lines) plan your design with the shapes.
-
Glue your shapes in place as shown
in Photo 2, and let them dry completely.
-
Wrap the paper around the lamp shade
with the silhouettes facing the inside. (This step works best if you mount
the lamp shade onto the lamp to hold it in place.)
-
Overlap one end over the other to create
your seam, make adjustments to fit and then glue the paper seam together.
-
Some paper trimming may be necessary
to finish the shade.
Now, turn on the lamp, and
enjoy your silhouettes!
Fun
Idea: Make different shades for different seasons or holidays.
These shades are easy to slip
on and off your lamp.
