Home projects are always satisfying and there’s lots of simple lampshade tutorials to produce your own shades for your home. Choose the fabric, colours and style to suit your interior. 

A great method is to use the DIY kits available to buy that allow you to make a drum shade. These kits are available on line from various stores including Ebay and Amazon. 

We also found brilliant tutorials from Cath Kidson and Design Sponge.  

The tutorials are straight forward and can allow you to create various sizes of shade. They can also inspire you on fabrics to use. Always ensure you’ve tested your fabric by holding it up to the light to ensure the light can filter through.

We’ve had the cloud light, and now we’ve come across the feather light tutorial from the inventive folks at Crafts on Facebook. 

This simple but very clever ‘make’ using  papermache, a balloon, glue and some paper results in a oh-so-pretty feather ball light for your home. 

You’ll need a little time for the papermache layers and drying time but the feather making is quick and straight forward for an effective result. 

Ensure using a safety bulb that doesn’t heat up when used or instead fill with fairy lights. Even without the light element it’s a super pretty room accessory!
