Today I´ll show you how to make this cute lamp that will be the perfect decoration for a nursery. You´ll be able to personalize it with a letter or your favourite quote.

It´ll add a dimmed light that will be perfect as an accent in the decoration and useful too.

You can make it as a baby shower gift, and you´ll impress the mom to be.

Before sticking the lights, paint the outer side of the ring with gold paint.

Use the glue gun to glue the string lights all around the ring. Try to space them evenly.

Hang It Up

The emboridery ring is light and will be easy to hang up.

My string lights are battery operated, I´m using rechargable batteries and the box of batteries is well hidden behind the paper. So you don´t have to worry with weird wires that will ruin your perfect wall.
