Skyline lampshade

2010-06-05T04:41:23Z

The '''Skyline Lampshade''' is a representation of what the Memphis skyline would look like if all the lights had gone off and the city was just backlit by stars.

{{Infobox project
|project_name = Skyline Lampshade
|image =
|caption =
|owner = Mfpotts
|version = Rendition #2
|status = Complete
|start_date = May 2010
|cost = $38
}}

== Overview ==
I decided to do this project after seeing a lamp similar to this on Etsy. The project I found was of the New York City skyline. There was also a link for a tutorial for it on threadbanger. I considered doing multiple things for the lamp, but decided to go with the Memphis skyline for my first lamp. I collected the items for under $30 and got to work. On my first attempt I used elmer's glue, just like in the tutorial. Using elmer's glue is a headache and I do not suggest it. Thought it can be dangerous, the hot glue gun is your friend. It is easier to use, and you get cleaner, more precise result.
