Botanical Lamp Shade
by Cassie, May 6th, 2012 | 3 Comments
My old lamp shade didn’t survive the move to Seattle. When I was looking for a new lamp shade, I was inspired by a neat lamp shade I saw on Etsy that was decorated with dried plants. I followed these instructions for making my own lamp shade.
On one of my hikes around Seattle, I gathered some plants to decorate my lamp shade.
Gathered plants
Then, I dried the plants for a couple weeks.
Drying the plants
After the plants were dried, I arranged the plants on my lamp shade and glued them on. After the glue had dried, I applied a protective coat of clear acrylic sealer spray.
