If you have an armchair explorer in your house (you know the type, they have a whole drawer in a cabinet stuffed with maps and atlases), then I have a perfect project for that special wanderer. Chez Larsson came up with this easy and fun lampshade project that will add some topography to your living room, without putting a dent in your pocketbook.


What You'll Need

• White lampshade
• Map
• Cutting surface, such as cutting board
• Spray adhesive
• Scissors or Exacto knife

To find out how to make it, read more.

Here's how to do it, from Chez Larsson:

1. Measure between the edges of the lampshade and cut a long strip that covers the shade and then some.
2. Spray permanent spray adhesive onto the back of the map in a well-ventilated area and affix to the outside of the shade, smoothing out any air bubbles with your hands.
3. Let dry, and enjoy!
