We have been working with this "bird" theme in her nursery and I found an adorable avant garde bird lamp. However… the shade only came in BLUE! Which of course does NOT match her adorable coral and yellow nursery in the slightest! With some Pinterest searching and some creative thinking I managed to come up with a plan for an adorable ruffle lamp using the leftover fabric from her ombre ruffle bed skirt.
It is 3 shades of yellow cotton, cut into 2 inch circles and then hot glued onto the lampshade. It took a lot of hours to put together but honestly I LOVE IT! So much more authentic than buying something. Here is the journey to making her lamp:
The start… so not the colour I was looking for!
Ombre cotton fabric
Cutting circles (over 300 of them in fact)
Gluing them on and ruffling them!
Three colours on…. trying to space them was DIFFICULT!
3 rows of each colour means 98 circles in each colour!
The end result!
The lampshade on the bird lamp in her room! ADORABLE!
This is SO super cute!!
