This was a project that I was really looking forward to, the outcome that is. Doing it was a not super fun. But I did it, and I am done. And look how cute it is!
I started off with a lamp I got last year at Big Lots! for $7.00. The lamp was in bad shape. It had a pink boa glued to it! Who would do such a thing....me. It was a bad choice I admit. At the time it seamed like a really good idea. Then I plugged it in a realized the fire hazard. The feathers were everywhere! So I ripped it off and started fresh.
Some ideas just should not be done.
I purchased four colors of felt by the yard.

Cut them into different size squares and then into circles. You can see my tutorial here and here.
Then I started gluing them on with hot glue.

At one point I ran out of hot glue and had to use a different glue. Stressed me out! I am a hot glue girl through and through.
I am almost done!
All done! I really like the different sizes of flowers. Some a huge and some are super tiny.
So cute!
Here it is attached to the lamp base and an my daughters night stand.
Being that she is only three we had a talk about the bulb. I had her touch it so she would learn never to do it again...HOT! We also talked about how she can't just turn it on and off all day. I hope this was not a mistake?!
Oh well, it is cute!
That must have taken forever...so cute. I am sure she just loves it. :) Thank you thank you for linking it up!
