You and your family are the real stars on this shade.
| Prep Time: About 2 to 3 hours | |
| What you need: | |
| Digital photos of your family (light-colored clothes will
glow best)

| Seasons: Year round | |
| Materials: lampshade, photographs | |
| Instructions: | |
| 1. | Using your computer, size the photos to fit onto the
Brightec paper. Then print, following the package directions. Cut
out the images.
|
| 2. | Hot-glue the photos to the shade.
|
| 3. | Stick on the stars and planets and add fabric paint swirls
and aliens.
|
| 4. | Cut two identical rocket shapes from craft foam. Decorate one side of each with fabric paint. Let dry. Wrap about 4 inches of a 10-inch length of wire around the wire frame at the top of the shade. Wrap the rest around a marker to create a spiral. Loosen the spiral and make a small loop at the end. Glue the rocket halves to either side of the loop, painted sides out. Let all glued parts dry overnight before using the shade. |
