How To Make a Hydrangea Lampshade

I bought a new lamp for my office

but thought the shade was a Little plain.

So I got on Pinterest to see what I could make.

Here is what I came up with.

Lamp and Shade before I started.

What you need:

I bought 4 large brown artificial Hydrangeas

Hot glue and gun

Scissors to cut flowers of the stems.

I cute all the flowers off the stems

and began hot gluing them around 

 the bottom of the lamp shade.

I made a second, then a row around the top.

Then, I continued to glue the flowers

on around the shade,

and filled in spots with too much space.

That's it! here is a picture close up.

I chose Hydrangeas with some

silk and some velvet flowers.

I Love how the light shines

 through the flower petals!
