Do you have a hard time throwing things out?
Do you often find yourself thinking of new ways to use an old item around your home?
Well then you need to join us in Glue Arts first challenge!
First though....let's share a new project today to inspire you to join in and craft along with us!!!
Button Up Your Lampshade in 3 easy steps!
Designer: Cheri Wenger
Supplies:
Glue Arts Extreme Adhesive Squares
Assorted Button Shapes and Sizes to layer & coordinate with your color scheme
Old Lamp Shade in need of some dressing up
Designer Note: You know we Glue Girls love to provide inspiration to you, but we also look for inspiration from others as well. This "makeover" home craft was inspired by a project I saw a few years back on Better Homes and Gardens website. It immediately made me think of my daughter’s lamp which although modern and neutral, needed some excitement added to it to liven it up for her tropical beachy bedroom.
Lamp Shade "Before Instructions (Create in 30 minutes or less)
1. Lay out all the buttons you purchased for the project on a sheet of paper and start stacking and pairing them up. Once you’ve decided on the layering, attach the top buttons to the bottom ones using Extreme Adhesive Squares."
2. Start adding buttons to lamp shade, turning as you go and making sure you have a good balance of color and sizes. If you just lightly place them onto the shade, you should be able to remove and reposition.
3. Once you are happy with positioning of all the buttons, press firmly onto the shade supporting it with your hand on the inside of the shade.
Designer’s Tip: You can use some of the other amazing Glue Arts adhesives, i.e. Ribbon Adhesive to add ribbons, fringe, ric rac and trims to dress up even further. Or if you are a bling girl, use micro extreme adhesive squares to add rhinestones, pearls or metal charms. My daughter was happy with just the buttons so I left it at that. Don't tell her, but I may go back when she’s asleep and add some raffia fringe around the bottom with my Glue Arts hot glue gun. Shhh!
