Very nice idea! I love altering lamps to give them a fresh look.

i know this is probably a silly question but just wondering if its safe to do this (case it catches fire because crape paper is quite flammable isnt it?)
it looks fab and i would like to do this in my daughters room but just a bit concerned:)
i do have an energy saving lightbulb in it and it doesnt get as hot as conventional bulbs but just wondering
thanks

yeah it is safe coz me using this lamp from a very long time ... and for safety purpose i use an old lamp shade and cover it with tissue paper.so that there is no direct connection between paper and bulb...do try it and if u hav any doubt use energy saver for more safety ..

thanks for that,it really does look great and so unique:)
i think i will give it a go,mainly because my 3 yr old went mad with a marker pen and i cant remove it from the shade so this would be idea to give it a new lease of life.thanks for that

thanx all for liking my idea and appreciating it .... its very simple & easy and take maximum 1/2 an hour to make.
