Homemade Christmas Gifts
Three broomsticks and a chopping board, a little time and a gay shade – and you have that most attractive addition to the lighting in any room, a standard lamp. The flex runs up the hollow left between the broomsticks when joined together, and a batten fitting to hold the sticks completes the framework. The shade can be made from buckram, tinted to suit your room and fixed to the wire frame with wool. With the woodwork painted or varnished to your liking there could be no more finished lampshade for a lonely corner.
