This is so awesome! Love it! -
How cool is this?! You inspire me! -
Okay! I have saved this one; it would look great in my gazebo! Thanks for sharing. -
That is so incredible! What a neat idea! ~Vanessa -
what did you paint it with? food coloring? -
Hi Amanda, I used Plaid Acrylic Craft paint that I thinned with just a little water so that it becomes translucent. Michaels, Hobby Lobby and JoAnne Fabrics all carry it. -
One question Seredipity, how well will this handle the moisture from out of doors? Are there light kits for indoor/outdoor?

Hi Becky, You raise a good point. I just took a look at it and I'm going to put some silicone caulk where the cord meets the top of the socket and use a rubber washer from my outdoor flood light kit at the point that the bulb meets the socket on the other end. I'm sure that they make outdoor kits but I haven't found anywhere locally that carries anything other than flood light kits which are too bulky for this project. I'll keep searching and post if I find some! Thanks!

This is cool, I'm going to try it. -
Wish I could see something expensive and adapt it to my own version like you did....great imagination and great work -
@Beverly L - copying is allowed and even encouraged!! That's why we all share ideas. What you can't come up with on your own you can borrow from someone else. You'll find that even if you totally copy an idea you saw, you'll start to get inspiration and the more things you create the more creative you'll become!! Ya just gotta start!! ;~)

you could probably even use 2 embroidery rings if you don't have a old lamp shade skeleton -
Hi Roberta, Yes, you can! I'm making one like that (drum shade style) for my studio space! Just loosen the outer ring and slide the stirs between the inner and outer rings!
