I'm remaking my CROCHET LAMPSHADE!

[@meganberk6072]

I love the “it’s not fire hazard rants”!

[@michelle_jasek]

And i still got a comment about it! 😂

[@darrinmckeehan5697]

🙄😒🫨😆

[@aristopoieo746]

this turned out incredible! honestly the panels had such a beautiful interesting design that it would have been a shame to let them go to waste. it's so pretty and the camper is honestly looking so homey and nice...☺☺ like a small little apartment!!

[@by_proxy]

I appreciate how you subtly continued the Stranger Things branding and turned yourself into a demogorgon at 1:27. Also, congrats on finally finishing the lamp shade! imo the final 2% of any project are always the hardest

[@valeriebee31]

I would love to watch a video where you fix crochet projects 😍

[@tracymgregory]

Yah! It turned out great!! I like your videos- I love the inspired projects and they aren’t the same old videos you always see! ❤❤

[@knittingblackbelt40]

So cute! You can make wall sconces with the other 2 panels.

[@MaryHill]

Great job Michelle 👏🏼👏🏼 and I loved how many times you stressed the safety of your lampshade!!!! 🫶🏻

[@RosieRowland]

love when you revist a project, it kind of motivates me to fix some my neglected makes lol :) and the finished result is so good!! totally reminds me a lamp my nan used to have

[@GraveMasterLament]

That turned out great! I'm glad you went back and redid it. Now it fits in perfectly with the camper!

[@c0ldlight1]

Love how this came out! Also- if you are ever in need of a larger balloon, cheap exercise balls are a good option.

[@blissprokop6239]

If you make another, you could try a beach ball. I think it would be bigger than the punch balloon. Although, I'm not sure how to hang it to dry. I do like your revised version. Well done.

[@HeyItsTra]

I was born in 1970 and I had several punch balloons when I was a kid. I loved them! I always associate them with the 70s.

[@haileymarie7866]

I was born in 2002 and I loved playing with them too!

[@robinmccamont]

Love your “new” lampshade, Michelle! And kudos to you for going back and fixing an “old” project. Just think, if you ever end up making a second lampshade, you already have two panels finished - LOL! P.S. if you ever decide to fix the hanging wire of the lamp, they make “tracks” that are available to attach to the ceiling and wall that will hide the cords. Just a thought…! Keep up the great work! 🥰

[@sugarapplesweet]

So for those other two panels... I kept looking at them and thinking "owl." Crochet a beak in the middle, and it becomes an owl with two groovy eyes. And yeah, I did wonder about the bulb on the crochet, but it worked out great!

[@MoonbeamAtKnight]

4:44 Fun fact, in a pinch cassette tapes make a great window scraper in a pinch. Figured this info could be useful given you live in Canada. So it’s decor and an emergency tool!

[@skaerup]

I think the 4 panel is a great size for the space - though I do understand wanting to use all 6 ❤

[@StetStitches]

It turned out so nice! I’m so glad you were able to get it to its final form. Using a punch balloon was a genius idea. I remember them being so much bigger as a kid… But then again I was a lot smaller!

[@AunniesPlace]

Super fun, love how it turned out.

[@58calangel]

Turned out great. I like the smaller four panel size ❤

[@meganbonsaint7644]

Michelle this is kick a$$ love it. Love you! Great job!

[@lindahoffman8296]

It turned out great!

[@adelacoburn1396]

😀👏👏 it looks fantastic.

[@lisagauci3354]

I discovered you a few months ago so I haven't seen the lamp shade. I love it. I have to go back and watch that video. Tha5 is amazing looking

[@lovecara1]

This turned out brilliantly, so inspiring.I need a lamp for my living room, but not a table lamp. This is perfect. Im thinking of the colours and design I am going to use now.

[@daniellegillett4801]

I love this so much and you're making me wanna make my own 😂

[@MsCarlaJS]

Love the lampshade! Maybe a party store would have large balloons.

[@thegrimlooper]

I started a mesh sweater, and I thought it would take a couple days… it’s been 2 weeks. I have kids so some days have less time haha

[@annettepeople1805]

@Michelle Jasek use one of those exceeded ball you sit on. They come in different diameters.

[@kaitlea403]

it’s so cute!!! i have no idea where i’d put it but now i want to make one too 😂

[@brysonrenee]

This turned out so cute! I have a corner in my living room that really needs a light so i really want to try this. I wonder if backing the panels with a sheer fabric would help difuse the light more?

[@lifewithhollyt]

This is so cool! Think I may have to do one....

[@colleenwambolt702]

It turned out really cute! Maybe an inflatable beach ball would be bigger.

[@gavannapatterns353]

Turned out so good! And I don't think a bigger ballon would have made it a lot better, it would be essentially a flat surface. Instead I think the panels should have been a bit narrower/smaller, if you still wanted 6 of them. But please make more lampshades, this was very fun

[@sweethaven5]

Gorgeous!! 🎊👍🎉

[@sidewalkpirate23]

It's soooooo cute though!!!❤

[@pamelarobinson1379]

Thumbs up!!! Great job, dear girl :)

[@cindywilliams4960]

I would have used spray starch.

[@caketheyarn]

LOL, I had punch balloons when I was a kid, back in the late late 70's, just hitting the 1980 😉. Lampshade 2.0 turned out great.

[@jacquieskipper4907]

3 day weekend here in the U.S.. Working on the mending pile

[@sidewalkpirate23]

I don't understand why you didn't thrift a lamp shade that had the shape you wanted and sewed the crochet to the wire skelleton of the lamp shade? That would be the easiest way to get the shape you want.

[@simpulacra]

jsyk next time, party city has huge balloons. i used a really big one to make a massive paper mache eyeball to wear as a head for Halloween! idr how big it was but id say maybe 24 in. either way this rules! i wanted to make my own lampshade and i was going to use hangers and fabric 😅 but maybe I'll use this method instead!

[@JackHarbon]

I'm sure you've probably answered this before, but I love the granny square blanket you have on the back of your seat! Do you remember what yarn you used for the cream/rust/orange parts of the squares?

[@michelle_jasek]

i thrifted this blanket, so i’m not entirely sure what yarn was used for it. I wish i did!

[@txsunshinecowgirl]

i just love your videos and creativity, do you think one of those giant kids balls at the walmart would have worked? like set it on a ring of some sort so it dont roll around then drape that bad boy on there, i have no clue but it is what popped in my head lol

[@sweetdreamsAsh]

I guess it’s a tad too late for this recommendation and I didn’t read if anyone else suggested this but you could have also used one of the bounce balls you always see in the kid section. At least here in the states they are also in the aisles. They come in lots of sizes and still easy to pop. So you could have kept the six panels. Anywho your project still turned out really good. And I admire how you go back to things(even if it’s not as much as you may want). My go back to’s, I’m shooting a zero lol

[@AmeenaF19]

Ok, now I want a lamp like this in my office....

[@BirdandCruCreations]

You could use the same size ballon, and have the 6 panels, if the panels were made smaller. 🤷‍♀️

[@norasutherlin1115]

not that i needed another project to add to the endless list and not enough yarn (or money for yarn boohooo me) lol

[@tinalin7180]

❤❤❤

[@HoppySabbathHomestead]

You could use a yoga ball for the shape!

[@Lady_dromeda]

I would have gotten one of those exercise balls (from the dollar store) so that you would have been able to get all 6 panels

[@beatrixkiddo5618]

Mayba a Yoga ball could work for 6 panels

[@michelle_jasek]

That’s what i was thinking after i finished it lol

[@sweethaven5]

How about a ball?

[@thegrimlooper]

Omg an 80s lampshade demagorgon (sorry if spelt wrong lol)

[@michelle_jasek]

That’s exactly what i thought 😂

[@xkimmixstarrrx]

I know this is of no use to you now 😂😂 BUT in the future maybe instead of a balloon use a space hopper ball??! Much bigger than a balloon and then you could have done the 6 panels ❤

[@lindseylee3968]

it’s obviously beyond too late for it but i wonder if you could’ve used a yoga ball instead of a balloon 🤔 to maybe have kept the six panels

[@kaytiej8311]

New category - missing important aspects - MIA's

[@thegrimlooper]

🖤🤍🖤🤍

[@kaijuchick3928]

a yoga ball would probably be bigger than the balloon and work

[@LyddPlant]

LEDS can get warm. Probably not to the point of starting a fire, but aren’t necessarily cold. However, I’m glad you’ve done your research!! I see so many dangerous crochet ideas recommended and hooboy…

[@kristyncampbell8171]

Next time use a big exercise ball.

[@monicak410]

One of those blow up exercise balls might be big enough for 6 panels.

[@moda78z]
