Handy Craftin'

I finally fixed my sad lamp..


The lampshade fell apart before (you can see it dilapidated in the corner of the pic of my bed, from the blog of 'my room'). Now it's all fixed up! I used printing paper and tape. Hehe, I call it being "resourceful".
I crumpled the paper in the 'hawaiian kapa' style. (Basically I crumpled the paper and smoothed it over my leg..aka, 'local grade school kapa' style) I didn't totally 'kapa-fy' the paper because I wanted the light to catch on the uneven crumples and cast interesting shadows. I twisted a fake flower on it to add some cuteness. ~<3
