I Crocheted a Fairy Forest Light!

[@telercoi3234]

“I had some plans, those plans were ruined, now I’m just making shit up as I go along.” An accurate description of life 😂

[@SkeinSpider]

😂😂😂😂

[@icklegeeky]

This would be a beautiful night light for a child I love it sooooo creative 🤓

[@eileenmclaughlin6180]

Your mushroom project is beautiful. You are very creative in the work you do.

[@BeautifulDisaster1122]

Me screaming at my TV at like the 13 min mark: GIVE HIM A FACE!!! He's adorable give him a face!!! 😂

[@SkeinSpider]

😂😂😂😂

[@maribelrichesin0801]

Fairy house would be cute! My mom made me a mushroom bag and put a little door on it like a fairy hoise

[@SkeinSpider]

Awww, that sounds like cute a cute bag!

[@melodymalone4076]

The lamp turned out amazing and it honestly makes me want to make something similar but just a decorative display piece for myself.

[@jaznz53]

Cut a bigger piece for the base. Continue adding to the base and slip the new cardboard base against the first one. Cut out a hole to match the first and then you have more room foe add one around the base. To make the top of the mushroom stay upright more find a bent knitting needle put a small hole in your plastic container over the lamp and push the needle thru to support the mushy cap. Hope that helps. BTW i yhink your lamp is amazing. Well done.

[@SkeinSpider]

Thanks for the tips! 💙

[@ASquareGranny]

I do not know how in the world you come up with ideas, but you CRUSH it EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I LOOOOVE THIS!!! Well done, again!!! 🍄🧚🏻🧌🫶🏻🧶☺️

[@SkeinSpider]

Thank you so much1 Though I can't take credit for the mushroom light idea, I saw a number of them on pinterest 😂💙

[@aknotstalecrochet]

This mushroom lamp is so stinkin cute, I can't stand it. omgoodness

[@MochaCrochetsandCrafts]

I think I can count on one hand the number of finished projects that matched my original vision. But I kinda like that. You did great and the light is so cute!

[@SkeinSpider]

Definitely agree, there is an added element of fun when you're forced into changing your plans and instead are making things up as you go.

[@kaytiej8311]

The fantasy forest vibe is perfect. What an excellent project!

[@o0oTyPow]

Brilliant! Pun intended!! Love the idea!! And my old self probably have enough items to do something similar!

[@jennigranville1387]

I think its adorable. My daughter would love that

[@Ellie.IsSmart]

The light turned out really cute

[@nikkihamilton8951]

Mushroom lamp is cool idea

[@angelaporch2984]

Omg you are so creative. I love everything you do. Love the mushroom lamp. Thanks for sharing

[@RaspberryDevil]

This turned out really pretty! 🍄🧚‍♀️

[@TheCrochetVampire]

It’s so awesome! I think making it a fairy house would be so cute!! 😊 now I wanna make a spooky crochet light. Like a spooky tree with some graves and ghosts. Thanks for the inspiration! 🖤

[@SkeinSpider]

Ngl, a spooky crochet light would look amazing!

[@ramonacowman7409]

Very cute and fun light! Thank you for sharing!❤

[@carolinaazevedo2088]

I loved the results!

[@danielecampbell7850]

I love it! You shouldn't worry about the project in the middle stages. Trust the process, as they say! You should just add some string lights and a funky colored light to the top of the big mushroom.

[@shirleycarter2451]

Think it's great to swop and change ideas 💡 as you go along, you've loads of magical creatures that could live inside the mushroom 🍄 🤔😉🤩 Love the huge mushroom, you could get string tiny lights and arrange amongst the other little mushrooms, love your colour scheme also. Been looking at fairy furniture to make with friends little girl in the summer, so this really appealed to me ❤❤❤

[@FloridasYesteryear]

That lamp is awesome! I love it.

[@sailorspaghetti2376]

If you want to reduce the floppiness and have more control over the shaping and positions of the mushroom caps, I would add some wire skeletons to those pieces! The project itself is beautiful.

[@LaurasChronicLife.]

i have a lamp set to the side that is broken that I've been saving for a mushroom light! Loved this and loved the music choice too!

[@SkeinSpider]

Nice!! I'd love to see your mushie light when you've made it, if you're comfortable sharing it of course.

[@blackcat9703]

Fairycore vibes are on point!!

[@winterprism9227]

CUTE!! It's funny, before you said anything about the fairy idea, I was going to mention it. Although, I think it would be kind of interesting to make the tree stump one, as well and crochet vertically with larger stitches in a wood-ish grain pattern. Paint the center colander a brownish or green color and glue a black silhouette (or multiple?) to it. Maybe, instead of torn stuffing, wrap batting (like for sewing into quilts, I think) to give it some fullness. That way when the light was on it would, theoretically, glow the color of the cylinder (if it was green it would be green through the brown bark) with the illusion of a fairy (or multiple) being on the inside. If you crocheted some protruding branches, you could add leaves with a lady bug (with a saddle? Would that be weird??) and decorate with fairy lights to make it look like the fairies decorated their home... I have so many ideas, I can crochet but I have a really really hard time sticking with anything for any length of time... So, I'll just keep sharing them in case someone else finds any inspiration from them.

[@SkeinSpider]

Feel free to keep sharing them lol, they're great ideas! I would really be interested to see if paint over the container would change the colour, that could lead to some interesting projects 🤔.

[@Cryptidlywitchie]

Fairy house would be so adorable

[@SkeinSpider]

I might have to try it out when I get a chance.

[@anathemarae8789]

oh my goodness talk about trust the process that turned out incredible, and it suits the rest of the room so nicely! re: the fairy house aspects, you could maybe take a photo of the lamp in general and with the light on as well and just draw in the fairy house pieces on a photo editor or something to gauge if it's worth the effort? idk if it matters that much to you but I had the thought so I figured it couldn't hurt to say

[@horiakhalid3611]

It turned out soo good 😍😍♥️♥️ a real trust the process going on

[@brysonrenee]

This turned out so cute!

[@juliestarks3867]

I just started watching your channel and I friggin love you, your funny and great to watch , your ideas are amazing. So happy to see an aussie girl being so awesome 👌 👏

[@SkeinSpider]

Thank you so much for the kind words!! Hi and welcome to the community 💙

[@carolynmcmillan7083]

Would be so cute in a nursery / play room / kiddies room so cute and I was just about to suggest 🧚‍♂️ type idea

[@Evie-rp6pe]

It looks so cool and its giving fairy core ❤️

[@nelliehedrick3147]

I love,love ,love it...🤩🤩

[@wallysworld3435]

Turned out great!

[@katelillo1932]

Adorable!

[@MamamanaDoDo]

I like the viney bits!

[@kathwilkinson7137]

I love the end result, so cute

[@galiane7365]

It turned out great! To be honest, when I saw the big mushroom result for the first time I immediately thought "this gotta be turned into a house with a little garden around it" haha, so that fits your fairy house idea ^^ Love the result either way! I was also worried when I saw the big mushroom as to if there'd be any light left, but it turns out great! Grats!

[@SkeinSpider]

That had me worried too! But fortunately the light still shines through pretty well.

[@NailTimeWithLex]

This is so cute! I definitely felt your "trust the process" mentality through the project. Ive been there so many times in my own projects. I cant wait to see when you make the tree stump! 😍

[@SkeinSpider]

I'm tempted to start on it straight away but I've got to finish some other projects first.

[@NailTimeWithLex]

@@SkeinSpider oh I'm excited to see what you have in the works!

[@debbiespain7245]

That is freakin awesome. I love it❤

[@pixenpost]

Loving you light. I want to make one for sure. But I do not get The forrest feeling……..I see mama Mushroom and her kids looking up at her❤😊 thanks for another great idea and video❤️

[@SkeinSpider]

Awww, that's a cute way to think of it!

[@nessao3930]

Love it! It turned out amazing 🤩

[@moda78z]

I’m in love! 😍 It’s so damn cute!! 👏👏👏💜 I was not expecting this! 👏👏👏 It’s not okay, it’s perfect! 😍

[@YvonneWilson312]

I absolutely love this! So creative and so inspiring!

[@jeanlindsey7650]

Love it!!

[@LilgingerJennie]

That came out adorable. I absolutely love it. Amazing job!

[@SkeinSpider]

Cheers! 💙

[@ladybugdancer97]

It looks so cute!! I love the colors

[@andreachard276]

Spacers on lamp base, so the bulb can’t get too close to the plastic. Xxx

[@findingteresa8524]

I love it!

[@JoGamer4life]

WOW 🤩It's so beautiful!!!! ✨🍄♥

[@dragonskull4102]

Wooow thats sooo pretty!! 🍄🔥🥰💜

[@juliestarks3867]

Just an idea . You could use glow in the dark yarn with the light it would glow after turning light off . Two different light affects in one ..

[@SkeinSpider]

Oooo, that's an interesting idea. I haven't actually used glow in the dark yarn before but I might just have to try it for my next light 🤔

[@thespooniestitcher]

Absolutely incredible!!! I love how your mind works. That is such a fun and beautiful idea. The fantasy vibes are great! Works really well with the succulent wall.

[@SkeinSpider]

I think that was my favourite part, that it inadvertently matched the succulent wall 😂.

[@crystal-jeanroat2885]

I absolutely love this. Your creativity is so very inspiring with this and some of the other projects I’ve seen you make. It’s very exciting for me as someone who wants a simple project sometimes, but also likes to break out of the norm and make the unexpected… your projects embody that. Thank you for sharing your process and projects! I like that the mushrooms flop a little, as the real ones do that in my yard, so it’s not a bad thing.

[@poppy2122]

Everyone of your creations are so pretty, incredible!

[@abigailsharp2018]

This is my favorite thing you've ever made!! 😍

[@SkeinSpider]

Cheers! To be honest, it's kind of grown on me and is quickly becoming one of my favourites too, if only for the reason that it's kind of different from what I normally make.

[@JacquieMc1]

Love it, great job 🎉

[@jenniferroeth2038]

I LOVE THIS

[@robynw6307]

Leigh, it's beautiful. But I am worried about how much heat is being created with no way to escape. It would depent on the bulb you use I guess. I'm also curious as to how well the lamp part will be to remove, with all that stuffing up against it. Yes to the fairy house. No to the vines.

[@SkeinSpider]

Thank you and the heat factor was a bit of a concern for me as well but I actully tested it out today and for the 20 or so minutes I had it on, it was fine. And that's all it's ever going to be, background decoration used sparingly. I definitely wouldn't use it as a main light source. And the lamp is super easy to remove, the entire crochet section literally just lifts off it.

[@marshalunsford7887]

❤ I love it.

[@SkeinSpider]

Cheers 💙

[@lindasakseide282]

You are amazingly creative 🙂 I love the outcome, but I don´t see how it comes off. Is that what you mean when you say that your plans changed?

[@SkeinSpider]

By comes off, I'm guessing you mean off the light?? If so, that bit still worked out the same, I can literally pick up the whole crochet piece and the light is just resting underneath.

[@lloydhale5227]

This looks absolutely amazing, you are so talented. Unrelated that butterfly in the back around 4:41 mark, do you have a pattern for it? Because I am obsessed!

[@SkeinSpider]

Cheers. I don't have a pattern for that one yet....it's on the to-do list.

[@andreachard276]

You should put 4 spacers on the side of the lamp so that the lamp doesn’t get too close to the plat if part you put over top. Oh and I just wanted you to know that I don’t bloody like your videos, I BLOODY LOVE EM ! Keep up the fantastic work. Sending love 🥰🥰🥰 from the UK.

[@SkeinSpider]

I reckon the spacers would be a good idea. I'll have to rummage through the junk collection to see if I can find something that would do the job 💙

[@roxyrox5423]

❤❤❤

[@stephenie44]

Don’t be afraid to give your hands a break, if they need it. Just give us a little explanation. Your patrons can be patient.

[@lisapettit7403]

👏👏👏👏👏

[@LuisSanchez-hr3cl]

HOARDERS 101 SIGHS just throw the stuff away u don’t need 😂😂😂

[@aknotstalecrochet]

@SkeinSpider Hi, friend. Do you have any advice for using this fluffy yarn? I always end up breaking it, though I don't really crochet too tightly. Another problem I have is it always frays so easily. I love how plush and fluffy and soft it is, just hard to work with.

[@the_homun_system]

if its not an incandescent bulb its shouldnt produce much heat so you shouldnt have too much worry about fire. you either have to have really old bulbs or go out of your way to get incandescent. most bulbs these days are led but theres nothing wrong with making sure to not have the material directly on it

[@redwolf2557]

💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@StacyFritz-os5ih]

i love free crochet patterns give me anxiety latly

[@soapsvonsoaps2206]

Oh sweetie, that is probably the light shade for that lamp...

[@RobynAsh]

It's clearly some kind of container. You can see the clips that held the old lamp shade into the center of the lamp. My guess was it was glass originally.

[@SkeinSpider]

Yeah, no. They're two completely different items.
