A Sharp(ie) Lampshade

Do you have an old lampshade that needs some sprucing up?

Maybe your lampshade has some splotches,

some little finger prints?

Unidentifiable grime?

Am I getting too personal here?

Too intrusive?

I just want to tell you that you are not alone,

I share your pain,

your embarrassment.

We can work through this together.

Let me show you my lampshade.

Lamp is fine.

Lampshade has seen better days.

But, with some counseling

and a Sharpie,

I worked it out.

You can too.

Grab your Sharpie,

transform yourself and your lampshade today.

I grabbed the bird image from the Internet,

but if you are artistically inclined,

by all means go free hand, baby.

I printed out the image,

enlarged it on my copier,

taped it behind the lampshade,

turned the light on

and traced the image.

Once I had the image traced,

I removed the shade from the lamp and filled the rest in with my Sharpie.

It was as easy as that.

I have some other lampshades hanging around the house that are not being used and was thinking about doing this:

Wouldn't that be cute for the fall season?

Or these for Halloween?

The possibilities are endless.

Maybe this for your teen,

Upgrade that lampshade.

You can do it.

There are a whole slew of colors to choose from.

Don't even get me started on that.

Possible ideas:

Happy Birthday Month.

I (heart) Popcorn.

Boo!

EEK!

Latinas are Beautiful.

Welcome,

Ladies of L.R.C.

Go forth and be creative!
