Printing On Lampshades

Did you know that the Citra-Solv method of transferring images works on lampshades too?
I'm sure that you probably did.

I can be a little slow at times when it comes to trying these sorts of things. The idea will pop into my head but then it will take awhile before I actually get around to doing it.


So I finally did it and I like the results.

Here's another one


I love those shiny mirror-like chrome looking lamps but I wanted to use something that I already had, so I painted this one in shiny, bright metallic silver spray paint. I used an image from The Graphics Fairy - et voila - a new lamp.
Loving it!
Images for both lamp shades are from The Graphics Fairy.
xo and God Bless,
Kathleen

    I'm new to a lot of these ideas...but a fast learner. What does the *citra-solv method entail? Burlap on the way from Joann.com so I will give it a try soon! Your ideas are awesome! Thanks sooo much for sharing! Blessings, Mumsie ;o)

    Love the lamp and shade makeover. I've had a lamp shade makeover in mind for some time. I hope to put the idea in action soon. This post has inspired me to do it earlier than later. :)

    Ok.....I've got a bottle of CitriSolv in my basement....now I just have to decide on the graphic I want and get to Office Max so I run a copy of it off, since I can't use my ink jet printer....right?
