Tabletop Lamp

Hi there Core Fans!  It’s Joann with you today to share a fun little home decor project that I think would be perfect to give to any hostess as a thank you or even a decorative piece for your own home.

Joann-Larkin-Tea-Light-Lamp

here is a closer look at the lampshade detail featuring some of the lovely core patterned paper.   Inside the lampshade I included a flameless tealight candle which gave it such a pretty look when the flickering light was reflected from the acetate die cut windows.

My name is Joann and I live in Halifax, Nova Scotia with my husband Miles. We have one son who is in the Royal Canadian Navy. I have worked full time in the Finance and Insurance industry for the past 29 years. I absolutely adore all things paper & glue and have been involved with crafting in some way for most of my life. I have a great admiration for creating projects from paper that may not necessarily be made from paper. When not in my craft room, I enjoy spending time at our cottage enjoying all that nature and suburban life has to offer.
