I alternated sugar spoons with dessert forks to encircle the wire frame. I left most of the metal frame exposed since I liked the peeling white paint/rusted metal combo. I used white seam binding to wrap the top of the frame once I had wired all the silverware in place.
This silverware lamp is part of the English tea garden vignette in my space at Faded Elegance...I've had such a great time making these silverware shades that I'm working on a couple of ideas for other mixed media lampshades...possibly involving brass metal stencils...I'll keep you posted...
I'm linking up to Funky Junk Interiors Saturday Nite Special...lots of great ideas...lots of inspiration...
