Since it’s been on my mind to create a cozy cable knit sweater lampshade I headed to the Thrift Store and found this pretty winter white sweater that I knew was perfect for my shade. It’s not cable knit, but the poms caught my eye. And it was only $2.99.

The lightbulbs in my particular lamp were low wattage and not very hot, and the sweater was nowhere near the actual bulbs. A high watt bulb might not be suitable for this DIY project.

All you need for this project is a hot glue gun, a pretty sweater and a lampshade.
