My friend Eliza texted me the other day and asked if I would help her with an idea she had for a lampshade. Using these photos as inspiration, we went to town today making her her very own flower garden lampshade!

We cut out the shapes we liked (using felt) and did some stitching on things like the leaves and some of the flowers:
When we had all the flowers and leaves we needed, we started arranging them and spacing them in the order we wanted them to be on the lamp (notice the M&M's we were eating as brainfood...):
Then we hot-glued each felt flower and leaf on exactly how we wanted it:
Until, VOILA! It was done!
And it looks AWESOME!!!! I'm so jealous of it I may call her back over to help me make one for my living room. Thanks for a great crafty afternoon, Eliza!

Superman, the vines were done with yarn. I used spray adhesive fabric glue and we sprayed the yarn then stuck it on how we wanted. :)
This is so, so beautiful!!
