I got the idea for this next tutorial from my demo Louise who was kind enough to share her lampshade template to use for this tutorial. My tutorial for today is turning wine glasses into lamps. My Dollar Tree has a lot of different styles of wine glasses and I couldn't wait to try this out!
Supplies-
Wine glass (long stem with short bowl works best)
12x12 sheet of Vellum
Lampshade template ( found here )
Step 1- You will have to play with the lampshade template to adjust it to the size that will fit your wine glass. After you get your template to size trace (using a pencil) onto your vellum and cut out.
Step 3- Stamp onto the vellum. I used black stazon for this, stamped off once to get the lighter color.
Step 4- Decorate as desired.
Step 5- I used mono adhesive to adhere the edges together. place on your wine glass and add any finishing touches. When complete, you can burn a tea lite candle inside the wine glass to make it look like a real working lampshade!
