Vintage Hobnail Milk Glass Lamp

March 6th, 2010

I found a pair of these lamps at a yard sale for $3.  Even though it came with this tattered old shade, I knew there was potential.

I went to Paper Source to chose my shade.  Have you ever been to Paper Source? They have tons and tons of gorgeous paper which also make great lamp shades!

I carefully took the old shade apart and kept the old metal parts

I used the old shade a traced it onto my Paper Source paper

Glue ribbon trim on the shade

Carefully fasten shade to metal parts with clips or clothes pins

Hot-glue shade in place

Do you have vintage milk glass lamps? I’d love to see them.  E-mail me a pic and I’ll post it.
