How to Pimp up With Patchwork and Transform an Old Lamp Stand
I picked up this sturdy wooden vintage lamp stand for a few pounds at a junk & antique store in town. I really wanted to bring another source of light into the front room so it was perfect for a creative upgrade!
I wanted the colours to be green and blue and decided to decoupage with some left over from another project thin cotton fabric squares.
I picked out a range of tones to keep the blue green turquoise colour palette but found a contrasting designs mix. So spits stripes florals etc that compliment an give the depth of textured I desired .
I spread some matte Mod Podge onto the base with sponge applicator .
Once the fabric Suarez are stuck down I usually coat over with more Mod Podge to create a stiffer protective bond.
i make sure the fabric is neatly folded and glued over the edge and secured underneath the stand.
I continue to cover the base in alternating colours and patterns slightly overlapping each piece and making sure no gaps.
I Continue up the stand wrapping the fabrics and patching it in alternating shades and textures.
its so fun to see the transformation an layering up of colour.
I keep on with the fabric patching all the way up the stand.
At last I position the last piece of fabric at the top.
I’m so thrilled how colourful and fresh the stand looks now!
