THIS SKELETON IS SO CLEVER. IT LOOKS LIKE THE INTESTINES ARE MADE FROM FELTABLE KNITTING YARN.

I BOUGHT THE FRAME FOR MY LAMP SHADE AT MY LOCAL CRAFT STORE

SONY DSCI USED KNITTING YARN TO DECORATE MY SHADE. THE PROCESS WAS REALLY SIMPLE. I CHOSE MY COLOURS AND WRAPPED THEM AROUND THE FRAME IN STRIPES. AS I STRETCHED THE YARN AROUND THE FRAME I LOOPED IT AROUND EACH OF THE WIRE SEGMENTS TO ANCHOR IT.

I USED SYNTHETIC YARN BECAUSE IT COMES IN SUCH BRIGHT COLOURS.
