Making a new lampshade!

The life of a missionary is not confined to just going for outreaches and preaching.

Recently, I was energised and determined to use my energy to explore new ideas and practical ways to improve things around the house. (since i'm also the house manager) And we have a big mission centre!

This lampshade has been in disrepair (see left). No one knew how to repair a broken lampshade. While researching for something else, i chanced upon this 'lampshade slip cover'. And see what a transformation!

All that was needed:
Paper
twine
cutting materials and board
single hole puncher

And here's the 'new' lamp in its old place.
