easy DIY embroidered lampshade revamp

I’ve already bamboo’d a lamp and doodled on a couple more so the next oh-so-logical step in my beacon beautifying quest just had to be stitched:

Simple yet perky, amiright?

Here’s how to make your own easy DIY embroidered lampshade revamp in minutes:

Grab an old lampshade, a pencil & embroidery thread + a needle (I highly recommend using a lampshade that is not fabric wrapped plastic – a giant pain in the arsch (& fingers) to poke the needle through!)

Lightly sketch your design on the lampshade with the pencil.

Then stitch away!

et voila! A rustically embroidered lampshade – that looks like it was stitched by a caveman, akk!
