What You Will Need

  • Lamp (I got mine from the thrift store)
  • Lamp shade (also purchased from the thrift store)
  • Spray paint
  • Craft paint or vinyl
  • Duct tape
  • Cricut machine
  • Cricut cut file
  • Card stock or vinyl
  • Red permanent marker
  • Paintbrush

Instructions

  • Cut off the end of the pull and tape off the remaining pull. Paint the base the color of your choice.
  • Paint the inside and the outside of the lamp shade with white paint.
  • Take a red permanent marker and draw the baseball lines. A plate can be helpful for the general circle shape, then add the cross stitches by freehand.
  • Use your Cricut to make a stencil for the Louisville Slugger logo. I cut mine from plain card stock.
  • Wrap red masking tape around the lamp to create the "grip area" part of the bat.
