I couldn't be happier and I am already thinking of other designs I could do. To make carbon black ink at home, you have to have a lamp black, an egg yolk (Optional), gum arabic, and honey. (Remove the small piece of plastic insulation from the end of the switch wires and the socket wires first.) Twist the ends of the wire slightly. Connect the black wire from the light socket to the wire from the switch, using a wire nut. wow! I love the look of the light coming through the tiny windows. Insert the socket, wire ends first, up through the 1-1/4 coupling, and out the top of the 1 nipple. The finished lampshade is still fairly ordinary when the light is off, but when you turn it on. It looks just like a street, don't you think? Then, to add some extra flair (and hide any gaps I accidentally left between the buildings) I glued some black ribbon with a white stitch along the bottom edge of the outside of the shade. I continued adding little buildings around the inside of the shade until it was covered. I used a basic spray adhesive to attach each building to the inside of the shade, overlapping each one slightly at the top to accommodate the curved angle of the shade. In order to make it easier to apply the flat pieces to the curved lamp shade, I first cut the individual buildings apart. I adjusted the height of the shape to what I needed to fit my lampshade. Hey Guys I bought some new light fixtures for my new house and I wanted to change the color of all of them to match the gold accents Im planning on incorpo.
I started by using my Cricut to cut some cityscape shapes out of black cardstock, using a design from the Going Places Cricut cartridge. The results were fantastic, especially for such minimal cost and effort. I made my own silhouette lamp shade for my desk lamp, featuring a simple cityscape design. When it comes to lamp shades, I love nothing more than seeing a plain shade come to life when you turn the light on, courtesy of a built-in silhouette design inside the shade.
