Follow us on Twitter Opening Day is right around the corner. If you have a baseball fan in your house, this week's project just might be a home run.
My son is a huge Yankees fan. He has three very boring lamps in his room. I went out and bought four inexpensive white paper lampshades. I got four because unfortunately, you can't avoid making a mistake on a lampshade.
He had the idea of having his side table shades represent outfielders and the lampshade on the dresser represent the ball that is flying towards the two fielders.
To paint the “baseball” lampshade, I first lightly drew out the shape of the baseball's stitching. Then I took out a small art brush and painted the stitches in red. It was very easy.
Next, I painted the outfielders’ “shirts.” Because I wasn't totally confident about getting the Yankees logo right, I photocopied the logo from a hat.
I then transferred the image to the shade by coating the back with graphite from a pencil.
I proceeded to place the image on the shade and trace over it. The pressure from the pencil leaves a light graphite impression on the shade. From there, I painted in the lines with Navy blue paint. To finish, I added lines around the top and bottom to represent the pinstripes.
He's really happy with the results!!! He's ready to start cheering his team on.
