Lamp Shade Remix

For my first  remix post I'm going to keep it simple. I was doing some spring cleaning and sprucing to the bedroom. Something did not quite fit though. It was the lamp shade (dun dun dun...). The lamp shade was old, grumpy, and did not fit in at all. It needed a make-over! So I headed to trusty Joann fabrics where I bought a yard of fabric in the pattern of my choice (I went with navy blue and white to compliment our navy blue & white comforter).  Here comes the steps:

Step 1: I heated up the glue gun (yes you will need one of these)

Step 2: I rolled out the fabric flat. I put a thin line of glue vertically on the lamp shade and adhered the end of the fabric to the shade. 

Step 3: I then rolled the fabric around the lamp until it met up with the fabric I had just attached.

Step 4: Cut off the excess fabric on the top and bottom of the lamp (I'm saving this for another project perhaps).

Step 5: Tuck the remaining fabric inside the lamp and glue it down around the edges using the glue gun. 

Step 6: Give it some time to dry and attach it to your lamp for enjoyment!

I didn't have many in process pictures for this remix, mostly just before and after. I will take more throughout next time ;)

This is a simple project anyone can do! 

Also, When I'm done and want to use a new fabric I can just take the navy/white one off and pick out a new one. Your lamp shade can change with your shade of mood (har har)
