I purchased this trumpet quite awhile a go, intending to make it into a lamp. I thought this was the perfect project for it! I knew I wanted to use the paper from the piano roll to decopage onto the shade. The problem was I couldn't find a barrel shade that would be easy to just wrap the paper around it. I ended up cutting them down in strips. At the top and bottom of the shade I found the perfect ribbon for it and simply hot glued it on. I think it gives it really a vintage feel. I then added the crystal and keys to the bottom.

"For me, I go to dances and have boyfriends . . . still I'm as
blue as can be!" I love the silly words to this song.

That would be a great gift to someone who plays the trumpet. It's really a honor as a trumpet player to have a lamp like that. You always come out with the best and most unique ideas.
