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!
I will be linking to many of these great parties!!
Please go here and vote for my felted wool Christmas wreath…I would so appreciate your vote!! Voting ends February 25!
