Remember a couple of posts back (posted on November 30th) I commented that I had a fixation over a certain lamp from the Pottery Barn catalog? It was suggested that I try using the 7gypsies "ATC/Photo display" to create a mini version of the original.
This is a naked 7g ATC/Photo display and how it usually is put together.
Instead of having the 3 rings on the stand go from smallest on top to largest ring on the bottom as shown above, I reversed that and put the largest ring on the top (shown below). I ended up only using 2 rings, leaving out the smallest ring.
I chose to decorate it with Christmas theme, used ephemera, music, old book pages, 7g flashcards, 7g crystal dangles, some vintage earrings....
I added some holiday postcards, some mittens and a holiday picture.....
I used pieces of vintage 7gypsies tissue (I know some of you are still hoarding it) and "believe" twill (more vintage 7g product).
I swiped a single light with a cord from one of my Christmas decorations and attached it to one of the "spokes" on the rings.
It was fun to put together and quick, just clip everything on. Add more photo or use it as an inspiration board with all you favorite things clipped on.....again, lot's of possibilities.
