If you've been following me for a while, you know I love an EASY project, and I love graphics! This so simple project combines both! Recently, I found some little paper clip-on chandelier shades at the thrift store and decided to use one for what I had in mind...I was going to stencil it, but a rounded shade like this isn't the easiest piece to stencil cleanly...
Then I thought of these...
I dug into my vinyl sticker letter stash and just quickly added a fun graphic to the shade. With an old tarnished silverplate candlestick and a flameless candle...it is vintage with a modern twist! Of course, you wouldn't want to use it over a flame or heated bulb, but it works perfectly here!
I love the bit of whimsy it adds!
I am joining Debra at The Marketplace at Common Ground
with some fun etsy goodies! Hope you'll stop by, too!
Also joining Brenda at Cozy Little House for
Tweak It Tuesday
Linda at Coastal Charm's

and
Wendy at Young Heart for her Weekly Thrifted link party
Until next time...
Hi Linda, it's great, really eye catching! Have a lovely day. Sharon

I really like your project and easy too...
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat idea, Linda! Love the tarnished silver candlestick. I imagine you could remove the numbers and add little phrases or words, too!
ReplyDeleteSimple, elegant and a little bit of whimsy! Very nice, Linda!
ReplyDeleteWould you please install a "like" button on here? Actually don't because then we would miss out on commenting. What a clever idea - I think it looks great. Ann
ReplyDeleteThe letters were a great idea. Love the candle stick with shade.
ReplyDeleteVery professional! It looks like the lampshade was purchased with the graphics already on it!
ReplyDeleteOh man, that turned out so well !!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love quick and easy projects and this one is such a great idea. That tarnished candlestick is perfect for the shade.
