Sweater Lamp

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!

  1. How 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!

  4. Great idea! I cover a couple of my lamps with gold lamee bags at Christmas but the sweater idea is even better!

  10. That is the best idea! I gave all my Christmas sweaters to GW! Now, I might have to go buy one back:):)

  11. 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.
