DIY twig lamp shade
Adding wac lighting a little natural element to fall decorating always feels right to me. Pumpkins, feathers, gourds, leaves… it makes for a fabulous fall display, don’t you think? Today I’m partnering up with some fantastic bloggers to share how we incorporate natural elements for fall decorating. As for me? It’s all about the twig lamp shade. Doesn’t it just scream “FALL!”?
Start by gathering sticks, and you’re going to need a bunch of them. Like 100+ I used almost the whole pile you see in the photo. Measure the height of your lampshade, then cut the sticks about an inch longer than the shade is tall, so you’ll have a bit of overhang at the top and bottom.
Just a tiny dab of hot glue on the top and bottom rim of the shade is all you need to hold the sticks on. Glue them on and hold them in place for a few seconds so they will adhere well, then move on to the next stick.
Probably going to see one of these at my house by the weekend. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!
Love this look, Gina! And dude. I had NO idea about the hot glue/ blowdryer trick. What the what? That’s life changing information right there, my friend. So happy to join you guys on this fun fall decorating challenge! Have a great week!
