✂️ Assembly
1️⃣ Sew the curved stem off-center toward the back of the base so that the arch leans forward.
2️⃣ Attach the lampshade cap to the top of the stem, then sew the lampshade onto it.
3️⃣ Secure flowers and leaves evenly along the stem — 3–4 near the lower curve, 2 near the top.
4️⃣ Adjust the stem’s curvature by gently bending the wire until the lampshade sits directly above the base center.
5️⃣ If adding light, insert the LED puck or USB string before final closure.
🌼 Finishing Touches
- Trim loose ends neatly and secure any gaps with invisible stitches.
- Gently bend leaves outward for a natural shape.
- For extra charm, embroider small tendrils or add a butterfly motif.
- Block the lampshade lightly with steam to shape the scalloped edge perfectly.
💡 Customization Tips
- Use velvet or chenille yarn for a plush, whimsical texture.
- Choose pastel colors for a nursery or bright tones for a craft corner.
- Add small crochet bees or ladybugs for extra detail.
- Secure wiring with floral tape if creating a working light.
