lamp shade makeover



All nice lamps out there that I want were so expensive so I just decided to make my own. I bought a very simple and cheap lamp from Target for $12 then thought about wrapping the shade with knitted twine. I had bought this natural color twine from Home Depot for something awhile back and had two rolls left which was perfect amount to make a crochet cover for this lamp shade.
Single crochet around with I/9 needle. I used 2 twines together to give thicker texture.
I haven't crocheted in so long that I had to look up few youtube tutorials to remind myself how to crochet.
I was very happy with the end result. The shade created nice natural-feeling dim light that is very ideal for night time breastfeeding.
Also looks great during the day!
