Vintage-Look Lamp .


This was so fun to make! I had some leftover threaded lamp tubing I wanted to use, so I got a couple of boards about 6" square, drilled holes to accommodate the tubing and painted black. Then I decoupaged some scrapbook paper to each piece. I purchased a DIY lamp shade and adhered scrapbook paper with glue dots. I hot-glued some vintage pearl lace to the top and bottom of the shade. Then I began the assembly. I had an old suet cage I just slipped the tube through, and it moves freely. I cut out some scrapbook paper that looked like old postcards into similar-sized pieces and ran string through and tied on the suet cage. Put a couple of nuts on each side of the wood pieces to hold them in place and it was done!
