Lamps With a Message

Here's a unique little idea to "brighten" up your rooms... literally! Phrases cut out of cardstock and tacked inside your lamp shades. They only show up when the light is turned on! Grab the FREE Word Downloads Here
You need thinner shades for this and you want to make sure that the shade is not close to the bulb.
I used my Silhouette machine to cut out the phrases but they can be cut out using an X-acto knife. Thicker words are easier if you do it that way. ***FREE WORD PATTERNS ARE AVAILABLE FOR FREE ON MY POST BELOW***
Spray adhesive is used to tack the phrase inside the lamp shade.
After spraying the FRONT of the text LIGHTLY you press it on the inside of the shade where you want it.
REMEMBER: There are free pattern downloads on the link below with all kinds of phrases. There are both pdf versions for hand cutting and Silhouette versions.
