Have I mentioned I am addicted to Pinterest? Well I am. My original perception about my Pinteresting was that I actually use or make the items that I pin. But I just realized that I have 748 pins and I have used maybe 20 of the ideas. (sigh)
But today I am going to show you one item I did make. I spent months planning, replanning, designing my scraproom I have a whole board on Pinterest just for my scraproom. And after months of planning it is still not completely done but I love it. I love being in there. I just open the door and I go "AHHHHHH! " and I feel refreshed and enernergized. Who knew color had THAT much affect on you. Ok, I have side tracked...where was I?
Oh yes...my project. I saw this lamp or something on pinterest
and I knew I wanted it or a version of it. It was inexpensive and cute! I had a cheap lamp I bought from Walmart.
See it? So sad. (Sorry for the bad picture but I forgot to take a picuture of it before I started to convert it, so I had to find a picture with it in the picture.) Well I bought some coffee filters and got out my hot glue gun and I got to work.
I folded each coffee filter in half and then in half again and then in half again until I had this triangle, folded down the top two inches and placed a generous amount of hot glue to the filter.
I started at the top and started to place the coffee filters next to eachother. I don't know if you can tell but I staggered each row so that I did not create perfect columns going down or perfect rows going across.
BE CAREFUL! The glue is really hot so I used a ruler to press down each filter. (this is actually the bottom of the lamp. Once I was done, I just trimmed the bottom points of the filters on the last rows so that they didn't hang below the fluff.
When you are done, you have a cute lamp!
Thanks for stopping by!
