I have been picking up some basic lampshades and in the garage they have sat....
I had a bit of motivation and some burlap!
I love covering lamp shades, because you can get so creative and pretty much anything goes.
The first time I ever attempted covering a shade I used a pattern, just an fyi that it not the easiest first attempt, lol!
A fun solid pattern like the above are a piece of cake.
Just lay the fabric on the floor and wrap it around the shade to ensure you have enough.
Then grab some spray adhesive (make sure you do a light even coat) and slowly smooth your fabric over the shade.
I use a sharp hobby (razor) knife to trim the edges and lightly hot glue them under the inside rim.
Then decorate to your hearts desire!
I love making scrap flowers, usually I make these when I am watching the kiddos during bath time! It's all about multi-tasking when your a Mom, right?
Easy, fun project! Try it out!
