Sadly, I didn't take any pictures doing the process. So today it's just about some good ol' before and after pictures.
I got this little guy at Goodwill for a whole $3.00.
I looked around the apartment for supplies I had here. This is what I came up with.
Supplies:
Spray paint
Yarn
Glue
Fabric
I spray painted blue.
Twist and glued yarn around it.
Made flowers and leaves from fabric.
Then glued them on.
This would be my new $3.00 lamp.

Is it safe? I would worry about the lamp heating up the yarn too much.
Good question, Kristi. We haven't had a problem with the yarn heating up. It's also only a lamp we use when are at the desk and someone is present, not a lamp we keep on all the time. I wouldn't trust to keep it on for a long period of time. Also, if that is a concern, you can always use non-flammable yarn :)
What a cute idea! If you haven't yet, Please Follow back Parga's Junkyard Blogand on facebook as well as on my new networking site Like it Ladder Thanks!

this is way fun! i love the blue:)
Lol, all that matters is the before and after pictures, nobody needs to see the rest. I saw this lamp and literally bopped myself on the head. I have lots of craft stuff in my house...........but no creativity to go with it. Where do you think of this stuff? Very cute.
I love it! Stopping by from Hopalong Friday bloghop1

Cute idea, loving the yarn on it. Does the yarn get hot after a while or is it fine?
