Homemade Is Best

Rag Lamp Shade :-)

I have been away from doing homemade projects for a while....I'm starting in again and started with this adorable lamp shade....I got the idea from a shade my friend Sharon bought.....very simple....I was so excited to start this project I forgot to take before pictures.....I took an old lamp shade (bought at the thrift store) tore off the cover sprayed painted the frame antique white ...then cut strips about 6 or 7 inches long and about 1 1/2 inches wide....of about 5 or 6 different fabric in the same shades but different textures......just do what looks good to you...and be very generous with the strips when tying around the top and bottom of the wire shade....I tied one at a time alternating the fabric....it took about 2 hours or so......

I put this shade over a lamp shade I had...you can put it over a shade or it can be by it-self over a pretty light bulb...

completed shade.....

this is the lamp I put the rag shade over.....


and of course I had to have one in Pink ....


Have a Wonderful Day.....

Hugs,
