DIY Leg Lamp from A Christmas Story


First off, this was much more difficult than I had anticipated. However, I am extremely happy with the final product. From start to finish, this took me about a month. I'm happy to share with you all the steps including trials and tribulations I went through while engaged in this project! Enjoy!

Oh and if you're the ambitious type and want to make your own but have questions, feel free to email me: kaylaokeefe@gmail.com
