Decorating With Fabric Embellishments!

Such a cute and adorable lamp! All of these ideas come from Sizzix the manufacturer of the press-style die-cut machine. Don't have a Sizzix? Use stencils or free-hand and cut out your own fabric or paper pieces.
Instructions from Sizzix: "Use fusible web to adhere two pieces of fabric together. Die-cut Bird from fabric. Finish edges with zig-zag stitch on sewing machine. Apply fusible web to various fabrics. Die-cut Leaves from fabric. Hand cut branches from fabrics. Stitch edges of branches if desired. Attach all die-cuts to lampshade using a warm, not hot, iron or use fabric glue. Embellish with pen and buttons."
I love the colors and simplicity of the embellishments on the lamp shade. Instructions found here.
