This little lamp was a hand me down that I thought would look nicely in my kitchen, but the plain shade wanted to be made over a little to go with my curtains. A really quick project.
1). Cut a strip of material the width of your lamp and twice the length of the circumference of the lampshade.
2). Clip the bottom to make a little fringe ( this material was a nice woven material and a little fringe worked well this way. The top of this material was already finished on the edge, but if yours isn't, hem it on the top ( you could hem the bottom if you didn't want to fringe it).
3). Using a glue gun, glue the material to the top of the lamp shade. Scrunch the material together as you glue to make a little ruffle.
5). There you are a quick 30 minute project

Dear Pam,
ReplyDeleteWhat a simple and adorable craft project! I really love the red gingham...and the rick rack was exactly the right touch to finish it off! I recently redid a lampshade in patchwork for my sewing nook...it was a fun project...and a chance to use up some scraps. Thank you for sharing this idea!
Hope you are having a blessed Monday!
