This post will shock and amaze you.
I’m just surprised I’m actually sharing it.
Well, yesterday I wanted to do a little something to spruce up my lamp. A skirt to make her a bit cuter I thought. So I cut individual flower petals from some scrap felt I had, and used my handy-dandy glue gun to adhere them on. But, when I went to place the shade back on the lamp, this is what happened.
{Clearly upside-down}
Then the next day I decided to make a sunburst from toilet paper rolls. I saw it somewhere (and can’t remember where now), and the idea has been in my head. SO, I got together some toilet paper rolls, cut them up, and began gluing.{I started with a small flower, and built off that}
I couldn’t seem to get it completely round, so I kept gluing more & more!
Then came the point where I ran out of rolls! So, I thought some baby blue spray paint would help.
{It didn’t}
It’s going to be awesome I promise- just give me some time…
This is hilarious! Still turned out adorable even though its upside down–hehe!
I’ve had too many crafting moments like that lately! I love where the TP sunburst is going, can’t wait to see it finished.
Ashley- Thanks so much! The lamps grown on me too ๐
Amy- I’ll keep adding until it looks right, this could either lead to a masterpiece- or a complete failure! We’ll see ๐
Too funny, I like the shade, and think its just fine, wouldn’t even think twice about it being upside down, lol. The tp sunburst, is too fun. I have seen several of these too, and can’t wait to give it a try. I host a weekly party **Amaze me August**, so anytime you want to stop by, to share some of your wonderful projects, recipes, tutorials, feel free to link up. Thanks, Bella :0
Awesome, thank you! – I’m coming over right now! ๐
Kendall, I feel your pain…just check out my MODEERF post! ๐ It’s pretty entertaining!
I’ve been wanting to do the same flower/sunburst with toilet paper rolls, but haven’t started. I didn’t think it would be so tricky. ๐
Erin- I didn’t think it would be tricky either- maybe I went about it the wrong way- but I will fix it! I can’t see throwing it out- just give me some time to collect more rolls, and we’ll be on our way again! ๐
