How To Make A Distressed Napkin Decoupage Lamp
If you love the distressed blue and white vase trends this spring, I can’t wait for you to see how I made a DIY lamp that has a distressed look.
I’ve been seeing these vases everywhere including online at Magnolia. Since I love the look, I ordered some of these napkins to make my own version of these vases.
However, before I could find the vases I wanted, I found this lamp at the Habitat ReStore for only $1.00.
I liked the shape and decided it would make a great napkin decoupage lamp.
You are ready to add the napkin to the lamp.
Begin by separating the layers of the napkin and then cut the top layer of the napkin into smaller sections using razor edge scissors.
This will allow the pieces to wrap around the curved edges of the lamp without folding.
Continue until the lamp base is sufficiently covered. Click To See Details
The lamp works perfectly with the new Spring Bedroom Refresh and you can see all the details here.

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
First of all...the lamp is beautiful. Very nice job! I'm wondering about the first coat of Rust-oleum. Did you use that to create a textured surface? If you didn't want the texture, could you just put the chalk paint first? I'd love to try this.
Where do you fine the napkins with layers? They seem so thin these days!
What kind of shape is bulb holder, one with two phong that just sits on bulb?
