I found the following shade on Pinterest!
(Click picture and it will take you to the site it was found on)
Here is the lamp shade from my broken lamp from Monday's Post.
Rip it apart! This is kinda fun. ;)
Here is your plain lamp shade, ready to be dressed up!
I measured fabric pieces that would reach from top to bottom, with about 2 inches extra on each end. I made the strips about 1 and a half inches wide.
I just wrapped the ends around the shade and tied a knot. I wanted it to look "messy".
Keep tieing. This is the least fun part. When your done, trim the ends to make them all the same length at the knots.
Put your shade on the lamp and your done! I don't have the color of the shade in any other part of my living room, so it's a very nice color to bring in. I think it looks so funky on my yellow lamp.
All together, this cost me $3.99! Just the cost of the lamp. Score!
What do you think? Cute? Colors aren't right? Shade to wide at the bottom? Let me know. :)
I like to party over here!
Have a fabulous day!!
