What You Need:

• lampshade ring
• tutus (dyed pink)
• replacement lamp plugs, jalanes.com or nationalartcraft.com
• plugs and cords
• magna-Tac glue

Use a lampshade wire ring with a washer top as the frame for your lampshade.
Dip the tutu in a basic pink or rose clothing dye to get a soft pink. Use Magna-Tac adhesive to glue the waistband of the tutu to the outside edge of the lampshade ring, and let dry.

To wire the lamp, use a wire-end socket (or a bare-bulb hanging socket with a cord), plus a replacement plug (we liked the snap-on version; see the links above or examples of both types). You can purchase these electrical supplies at most hardware stores. Cut off the socket cord’s original plug, and thread the raw end of the cord through the washer at the center of the lampshade ring; then attach the replacement plug. Slide the lampshade down to the socket. If the shade won’t hang level, use electrical tape to wrap the lampshade ring to the socket itself. To hang the lamp, loop the cord through a hook on the ceiling, and use electrical tape to hold it in place. Or thread the cord through a chain, and use the chain to hang the light on a ceiling hook.
