Lamp shade makeover

I've had this table lamp for a little while and have wanted to recover the shade. It's in good shape but I didn't like the red. Not my style. And the more I looked at it the more I disliked the shape of it, too. So I chose to just buy one and dressed it up a bit. I bought a burlap lamp shade and a spool of ribbon for $12.


The switch was simple because this lamp shade just lifts right off the base
I marked 1/2 inch on top and bottom and used hot glue to attach the ribbon
Fold over the end of the ribbon at the seam
I also added an adorable bow!

After. I love it!
