I had these lamp shades I made awhile back for the chandelier in my bedroom. I decided to change them up some for the chandelier in my living room.
 |
| I just took white chandelier shades and added the rosette trim to the bottom and then used cream colored buttons on the top of the shade. I used my hot glue gun and it was easy peasy. |
 |
| I had these buttons that I bought at the flea market a few years ago. Did not know at the time what I would do with them but glad I bought the jar of them for $3. |
 |
| I used the rosette trim I got at Jo Ann Fabrics around the base. Love when all I have to do is hot glue gun something. |
 |
| Here is the new look I gave them. I just used a sharp craft blade and sliced out the material part of the shades. It was pretty easy. |
 |
| Here is the before and after. |
 |
| I love the look these give to my chandelier in the living room. |
 |
| I did not want to overwhelm the chandelier with the heavy feel of the original shades. By opening them up they give a little bling to the chandelier but keep that open look I want in this room. I just wanted to enhance the chandelier not make it heavy and fussy with the shades. There you have it another DIY Re purpose what you already have look. I love to re make old things into new. Hope this week is going great for all of you. We have had the best weather the last few days. Loving this summer low 70's weather. Please come back on Saturday for another Spotlight of two talented bloggers. You will love learning about these two very talented ladies on my blog and Susan's blog. Kris :) |

ReplyDeleteHOW do you keep coming up with these idea Kris???
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad I know you now - before you become an empire like Martha Stewart - because you really are going to take me to Hawaii -
You promised - and I've kept the email just in case............
It's gorgeous - absolutely gorgeous- pinning it now!

Kris, I love the shades..At first I thought, cut the material away?..but the final product is just right. You certainly have an eye for decor. xoxo,Susie
ReplyDeletep.s. we are having some sweet weather also.
The shades turned out great! I have a lamp I tried to do this with. It is still missing something though. I will have to work on it.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

Love the new look...they look fabulous!!
ReplyDeleteOh how I love thee...nothing cuter than a lamp embellishment. What a cute difference Kris!
ReplyDeleteYour shades are adorable, very pretty thank you for sharing.. with love Janice..
ReplyDeleteGutsy! I still have a phobia in deconstructing things....even a lampshade (they are not cheap!). Maybe one of these days, though, with trailblazers like you & others showing no fear! Your projects always turn out great.
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful - so clever how you cut out the fabric. I love that look, but I don't have any lamps where that look would work.
ReplyDeleteThis is obviously not your sewing project - which means you have some more fun posts coming up.
Great idea! I'm already looking forward to Saturday. Working on translating your answers! I'll let you know when I'm finished.

How fun and creative is this. I would never have thought to remove the cloth sides, but this looks so pretty. Great idea. Hugs, marty
ReplyDeleteHow cute are these! Thanks for sharing. I cant tell you enough how inspiring I find your blog and so many. The idea's people share keeps my head spinning and realizing that even as little creativity I have I can do it!
ReplyDeleteI love the new look, they are just adorable. I think you are going to start a new trend with that DIY project:)
ReplyDeleteI wasn't sure at first when I saw you cut the fabric off, but they look great on the chandelier!
