Pattern For Your Lamp

Where can I get the pattern for the lamp shade in your tutorial?

Answer

It is my own design and, I'm ashamed to say, I didn't keep the pattern once I built the shade. I seldom make the same thing twice, so I don't keep a lot of used patterns around.

You are welcome to copy it if you want. All of the panels are the same design, just different color flowers.

Right click on the picture, then click on "save picture as". Save it to your photo album or image editing program. Enlarge the flower and print it out. Draw the exact dimensions for the panel and copy the flower to it. You may have to enlarge or decrease the size of the flower until it fits.

I just measured my lamps, and the dimensions:
9 inches on the sides, 5 3/4 inches across the bottom and 1 inch on the top. However, you can make your lamp any size you want as long as you keep the proportions the same.
