Tutu lamp

I saw this on pinterest and absolutely LOVED it.  My oldest daughter takes dance and the frillier the tutu the better.  I had the perfect little lamp to re purpose- it had a white base and a green shade.  I spray painted both light pink (although I should have spray painted the shade white first- it's hidden)  It took me a bit to get into the rhythm of using the tulle, but I LOVE the outcome.  It's not as good as the original, but it looks great in my girlies room.  My wonderful hubby just doesn't get girly stuff (AT ALL) so he looked at my beautiful creation and informed me "It looks like a fire hazard"  Thanks babe!  He's just a boy, what do they know about tutu's and pretty things??  Here it is:  Although now that I actually READ the directions I see the strips were supposed to be 6 inches wide- mine were about 2.  I wonder if that's what make mine look not as nice?  I may try again sometime.

Love it
