Give An Old Light Shade A Face Lift

 

 

Don't throw those tired old light shades out, they can be be brought back to life with a bit of imagination, a crochet hook and some yarn. Here are three that I plan on working on and I have finished the first one.

I wanted a simple and open light light shade to go over the dining table.

I cut and tore the existing shade off it's frame

 I then gave it a clean

 I crocheted some diamond shapes to fit within each section

Then I tied them on at each end

I used a budget acrylic yarn

 Next I had to secure the diamond shape with some chains and slip st's, I began at the center of the diamond on the frame, to keep it evenly placed

I added more rows of chains and sl st's at an even space

Then I began to wrap the exposed frame with a sl st, I used my fingers instead of the crochet hook as it was easier for me

I could have added more elements to the light shade, but as I said I wanted something simple.

I'm glad I took the time to wrap the exposed frame, the variegated yarn looks quite impressive.

Thanks for taking the time to read my post
I have another light shade I made not long ago if you would like to see that, just follow this link

 

I Just Love These Crochet Crocodile Stitch Slippers!

I happened to stumble upon a video tutorial for some really pretty crochet crocodile stitch slippers. It was not just the crocodile stitch that I liked it was the way the slipper was made and formed. It was such a good looking slipper that I had to see how it was made and watched the video's over and over again. I favor visual learning and enjoyed watching the slipper come together, I've made quite a few now and was also inspired to make a baby slipper that was similar.

With all the slippers I made, I used a 4mm hook and 10 ply yarn.

The Red Heart Aran we have available in Australia is soft and was the perfect yarn choice for these slippers.

The color combo's are limitless!

This pair is for me

 I used some puff paint for a non slip sole

 I couldn't resist to make a baby hat to match the baby slippers.
