This lampshade looks complicated but its quite easy to make.
Take some digital snapshots of your favorite plate.
I used the Fluted Mega plate from Royal Copenhagen.
Enlarge the pattern several hundred percent, print out and cut out.
I just glued the pattern to the shade with craft glue.
Its so beautiful at night with the light coming threw the pattern.

Very cool, I must say. Just wish I had a flat shade for this craft.

Hei Paul! Nydelig bilde, og ideen til lampeskjermen var kul :)
Ville bare si at jeg er med i det siste Elle interiør, en fin liten reportasjo om interiørblogging. Der nevner jeg at du var en av grunnene til at jeg startet med blogging, og at du faktisk var den første som skrev en kommentar på bloggen min :)
Ha en underbar dag
