What you’ll need:

  • 5 crepe paper sheets
  • transparent tape or masking tape
  • scissors
  • paper glue
  • paper lamp shade (available for cheap from places like Ikea or Target, etc.)

Michaela shares the full tutorial in her guest post for Urban Scarlet, so head over there to see how to piece this beauty together!
