Feathered shade

NOTE: To ensure safety, use only 25W light globes in each of the lamps featured here.

Materials

Plain lampshade

Feather boa, in desired shade

Spray adhesive

Apply the spray adhesive all around the outside of the lampshade, and then, working quickly and starting at the top of the shade, wind the feather boa around the shade until the surface is covered. Press the boa in place firmly on the surface of the shade. When you are happy with the shape, trim the top rim of the feathers so none of them touches the light bulb or is inside the shade.
