Drop Cloth Lamp Shade for a Vintage Lamp

100_7222

This has got to be the easiest thing ever to do!  I bought this tiny crystal lamp at a thrift store in Milford, Connecticut last fall and had been looking for the perfect shade.

I found this cover your own shade on clearance at Hobby Lobby…I think it cost $2.58.  The shade had this peel off label and then you use the label as a pattern and cut out the fabric.  The shade itself was adhesive covered.  So….

Easiest project ever.  I added some pleated ribbon trim (also at HL for $1.50 a roll), and just attached it with hot glue.

It added the perfect finishing touch!

It sits on my bedside table…

I can also add something to the vase, the light fixture just screws onto the glass part, but I like it just like it is!
