BURLAP & DOILY LAMP SHADE

Time for another burlap and doily post....

I ripped off the old tattered fabric from a thrift store lamp shade
and wrapped the wire frame (very tightly) with burlap,
which I then glued on.

 The doilies and hand made felt flowers were then hand
sewn on....

The lamp base itself is a vintage

crystal decanter that was easily turned in to a lamp with the addition of

a lamp kit made for bottles.

 Happy day!

It was "doily heaven" at the thrift store today....so more to come!



OBSESSIONS-DOILIES, MASON JARS & BURLAP

I have to admit to having a bit of an obsessive/compulsive personality....
and since my current obsessions include
doilies, mason jars & burlap
over the next few weeks I'll be showing you lots of projects that
I have done that include these things.

 I love this round black suitcase that I picked up at a thrift store.....
it seemed the perfect piece to add some doily embellishments to.

 I used a spray glue to adhere the doilies to the suitcase and
just a touch of hot glue to keep them in place while the spray glue was drying.

 The cute little felt flowers were easy to make and add some dimension to the
front of the piece. 

 Doilies are really popular for use in wedding decor right now...
wouldn't this be adorable sitting on a gift table!?

I have it up for sale this week at The Passionate Home in Langley, BC
