We love using natural elements in our fall decor! Using twigs for a lampshade is a unique idea, and it’s great for budget decorating. If you have a lamp with a torn lampshade, or just don’t know what to do with that lamp from the thrift store, this project is for you!

Supplies:

1) A lampshade

2) Scissors

3) Hot glue gun and glue sticks

Step 1:

Gather sticks. You’re going to need a lot! Measure the height of your lampshade, and then cut the sticks an inch longer than the shade. You want a bit of an overhang at the top and bottom of the lampshade.

Step 2:

If you lampshade still has a shade on it, take it off. Use scissors to cut the fabric.

Step 3:

Glue on the sticks. You only need a small dab of glue to hold the sticks in place. When you’re finished, you can use a blow dryer to get rid of any glue strings. Place the lampshade back on the lamp and you now have a unique addition to your fall decor!
