I know lamp shades aren't SUPER expensive, but if I can do it myself for cheaper I will. A while back I found a lamp and a lamp shade at DI for $3 each. The lamp was a fair price, but the shade wasn't worth a dime, so I talked to a worker and she said I could have both for $3. YAY! Here's the before pic.
I haven't gotten around to changing up the lamp, but on a recent trip to Hobby Lobby I found a lamp shade that I thought would go perfectly in Riley's room. I have no idea how much it was because I knew I could do it for less than five bucks. And unfortunately I couldn't find a pic of it online. BLAST!
Here's how I did it...
First I hot glued a piece of fabric around the outside of the shade. Then I made a bunch of these fabric flowers without the burning. Then I twisted the ends of the flowers and hot glued them onto the lamp shade. What do you think? Super easy, but quite time consuming. I used about One and a half yards of fabric.
I think it'll look really great in her room, but I will be putting the shade on the other lamp after it's done. Her dresser should be done by next week, so I should be able to show it in it's rightful place soon.
um... you really need to get out of my head because you keep doing all the things I have planned to do once we move :) Super cute!
ReplyDeleteHaha, well I'll do them and then you will know exactly what to do when you move. Perfect.
ReplyDeleteHi Jessica, it's "Ms. Alisha" (Madison's pre-k teacher). I stumbled upon your blog in my attempt to de-activate the classroom one... but I'm glad I did! You have some very cool things on here, and I realized I never got your Etsy shop (which I would love still BTW)!
ReplyDeleteI hope Madison is enjoying kindergarten, I will definitely NEVER forget her! ;) Tell her I miss her for me!
