I saw these shades on a website. I thought they were a clever way to décor a dinner table. They would also be perfect accents for a wedding. If you want to purchase them you can order them through Charles & Marie. I also found a DIY way to make them. They are fairly easy and it allows you a lot of room for creativity. You can use plain vellum or colored vellem, you print a design on the vellum, the possibilities are endless.
Supplies:
8-1/2" x 11" sheets of vellum (one per lamp)
Scissors
Decorative bladed scissors
Decorative paper punch
Glue pen
Wine glasses
Tealights or a LED battery-operated tealights
Candle putty (floral clay)
Here's how, from Save On Crafts:
Download and print out this lampshade pattern.
Trace the pattern onto your vellum sheet. Cut out the shape with your regular scissors. If you want, you can use decorative bladed scissors along the bottom edge to add another element to the shade.
If you like, use a paper punch to punch holes evenly or haphazardly throughout the shade.
Using the glue pen, apply a thin line of glue to one straight end. Wrap the other end over the glued end, and adhere together, forming the shade.
Secure the tealight with the candle putty, and set the lampshade on top of your glass.
