For my project this month, I used the Pazzles “At the Zoo” to make a vellum lampshade that you place a battery-operated tea light into the glass and then cover with the vellum lampshade. This would be really cute to use as a nightlight in a child’s bedroom!!! When selecting the papers that I would use I tried to use iridescent papers that the light would show through.
Supplies List
Papers: Staples Inkjet Vellum (29 LB), Canson Effects Papercraft, Best Occasions Metallic
Paper Pack (Black for “At The Zoo” and misc. pink and black CS scraps that I had on hand.
Cording
Squiggly Eyes
What A GREAT Idea. That is fantastic. Way to think outside the box....or in this case, off the page!

I really like this a lot! Did you purchase the shade and cover it....or make one yourself? Wouldn't it be nice to be able to make a different shade as the child grows with new interests.....or make seasonal ones to change out during the year? You have a great idea going on here!
