As I was moving things around in my house today, I realized that I have moved the same lamp over and over because I didn't love it. I decided to add some fun to the old lamp. My sister gave it to me years ago and for some reason I have never given it away. I had some fabric left over from a recent project and decided to add a flower to the shade. If you don't have extra fabric, they sell small fabric squares used for quilting that are only a few dollars each. I free handed an imperfect flower with a sharpie and cut it out.
Next I used a different fabric and traced around this flower. When I went to cut it out, I just made sure to cut it a little bit smaller.
I used one of my kids cups to trace a round circle for the center but decided it needed more. I had bought a newspaper print flower for another project and used it for the center of the flower.
Next I hot glued the largest flower on, then layering the other fabrics on top. I realize it's not a perfect flower but a friend told me, nothing hand-made is perfect.
