Awhile back I showed you how you can easily transform your lampshades with paint.  I really like the look and effect, but when I was sitting on the couch, at an angle where I could see the underside of the lampshade, I didn’t like what I saw.  Paint was seeping through the fabric, but not in a way that looked right.  I decided to fix it with fabric.  I like how it turned out.  Adds a little bit of color, and covers up the bleeding paint.  I may still embellish the bottom of shade with some trim, but we will see what I can find.

MATERIALS NEEDED:

Fabric of choice (I had about 2/3 yard of a remnant piece)

Glue gun

scissors

DIRECTIONS:

Cut fabric into strips.  Start gluing strips.

You will probably use scrap pieces or shorter strips near the end to fill in the gaps, depending on the shape of your shade.
