stitched lampshade tutorial (and a tiger pig)

Stitched lampshade tutorial coming up!

Here we go:

1. Cut out your shapes from paper. May I suggest a fine kelp shape?

2. Lay the shapes over a few layers of felt and use an awl to punch holes for the stitches.




3. Glue the shapes on the lampshape and use an awl to punch holes in the lampshade, using the previous set of holes as a guide. (Be sure to support the lampshade while you make the holes: otherwise, the walls may collapse!)

4. Stitch the shapes in place. I used two strands of regular embroidery floss. Done and done! Time to celebrate with your favorite (deceptively angelic looking) tiger pig!
