Lampshade: Before and after
Hello,
How’s everything today?
Two days ago, I felt in love with a white lampshade, a very simple one but so charming with it’s round shaped bottom…I had to have it 🙂
I transformed it my way in my head before even I bought it … and on my way back home I was smiling and singing 🙂 (crazy woman, I know!)
So, I have to show it to you:
BEFORE:
I adore the ball-shape-ceramic bottom:
and AFTER:
I took the pattern of these cute flowers from this lovely book that is a must-have ! I recommend it!
You can order a copy from here.
This is a close-up of the pattern 😉
I made it without round 5 which is a dc round 🙂 I am a lazy person…
Hope you liked my transformed new lampshade!
I am still working on my MONSTER but from time to time I love taking a break…
I am also making some paintings and it is really distressful ! I am enjoying it a lot, I’ll show you maybe something next time…
Have a happy happy happy week end!
Kisses,
Sucrette

Dear Sucrette,
this looks very, very beautiful.
I bought this book also and always find some nice ideas.
To beautify your lampshade in this way is a wonderful idea – Great!!! Very nice Colours…
Enjoy your Weekend and many Greetings,
Marion
I absolutely LOVE that “after”! How ideal, for someone who adores color (as do I) to find a perfectly shaped blank canvas, so to speak, to work with! I have that book too, and love it. You did a marvelous job, and I know you must be tickled pink every time you look at that lamp!
It’s a great idea! Very personal lamp.
I need this book, aixxx.
So cute! I love what you did to it. I would be singing too if I had that lampshade! It’s a blank canvas screaming for crochet embellishment.
Wow! That lampshade looks great! Great work!
Genius Sucrette, Love it . The lamp and shade are such a satisfying shape , and they look so much better with a little touch of colourful crochet goodness :0)

What à lovely idea. I love the flowers on your lampshade
Dear Sucrette,
many, many thanks for your comment on my blog, I was very pleased.
Unfortunately, I do not have the second book “Around the Corner”, but I think it is very nice and I would like maybe to buy. There are certainly many fine crochet borders in it and there is again a lot of ideas but unfortunately only 2 hands, hihihi …
I wish you a wonderful evening and send many greetings,
Marion
Love, love, love your lampshade. Silly question but how did you attach the motifs to the shade – did you use glue??
Yes, I used the gun glue 🙂
Such a modern, fresh and vibrant look now to the lamp. What an innovative idea. Just amazing.
Hello! Your new lamp is beautiful! I have made last summer 50 tiny flowers for a lamp… but the lamp is still missing.
The granny blanket is going to be wonderful!
Best wishes Teje
That is such a clever way to ‘pimp’ your lampshade. Really like the way you did this, with nice bright colours. And I agree with you on the book; it really is great and a huge source for inspiration!

Thank you so much! I Have been looking for a motif to sew on to my daughters curtains – this is perfect! I shall have to get me this book!
I have both of her books and love them! Your work is lovely-thanks so much for sharing!
