A lamp revamp.
The blue and white lamps in our family room
got a makeover for Christmas.
I used an old red sweater and just
cut off the sleeves.
I removed the lamp shade and slipped the
sleeve over the lamp with the widest part
at the base tucking the bottom end under
and folding the top cuff down.
I even used the body of the red sweater to
cover the pillow in Lucy's basket.
Nothing was wasted!
I would love to find one with Christmas
colors or a Christmas pattern. I'll be on the
hunt for another sweater in a thrift shop.
I bet I can find a holiday sweater for a dollar.
So go rummage thru your closet
and see what you find.
A great way to recycle old sweaters!
Cheers!

What a great idea. Perfect for Christmas.
ReplyDeleteHow clever! I would never have thought of this. A slipcover for a lamp -- the whole idea opens up a world of possibilities. I have done it to shades, but -- actually I just love this idea!
ReplyDeleteYou're awesome!

ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I cover a couple of my lamps with gold lamee bags at Christmas but the sweater idea is even better!
ReplyDeleteVery clever uses!
ReplyDeleteI really like this idea, now I have to look for some old sweaters:)
ReplyDeleteMy heart almost stopped for a moment when I briefly thought you might have painted over that lamp!! :) This is such a good idea, love it!

Seen this done with candles but never with a lamp. Love it.
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking up to my party. I would have never guessed that was transformed with a sweater. How creative is that? Fab idea!
ReplyDeleteThat is the best idea! I gave all my Christmas sweaters to GW! Now, I might have to go buy one back:):)
ReplyDeletevery fun and clever rita!

Love the reds for winter. And when you're done with it, you can go back to the cool whites again. In Spring. Easy and whimsical. Nicely done.
