I did an easy DIY today and dressed up my two plain white lamp shades. I used a little burlap and some bling burlap flowers.
 |
| I bought this burlap ruffle and thought I might use it on a few things around the house. Was not sure what but just loved this burlap. |
 |
| I had these plain white lamp shades I have been hanging onto until I could find new ones. So I thought since I have not been able to find any new ones I like...... I will just dress these up with some of that burlap. |
 |
| Got out the hot glue gun and glued the ruffle around the center of the lamp shade. |
 |
| I had some burlap left over so I made some flowers and added a little bling to each one and glued them to the burlap on the shade. So now I have dressed up the lampshades without a lot of fuss. Easy Peasy fix to plain ole white shades. Have a great week. Kris :) |

Oooh, I love that burlap with the ruffle, Kris! You need to stop posting all these great things you find ~ it's going to kill my budget! : ) Your lamps looks great. Sometimes it just a little update like this that can change the whole look.
ReplyDeleteWow! What a difference and super cute!

Gorgeous! That ruffle is so neat, I've never seen one like it.
ReplyDeletethat is the cutest burlap! adorable idea, kris:)
ReplyDeleteKris, Very cute idea! I love the burlap ruffle, I have never seen that before. Do you remember where you got it? You always amaze me with all your creativity. Love the bling added to the flower!
ReplyDeleteHugs,

Kris, you just know how to turn an ordinary thing into the extraordinary! Love what you did with the lamp shade! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteKris,

XO,

Well Kris, you have done it again! I absolutely love the ruffle burlap! What a great fix to your lampshade. And I know what you mean about not being able to find some that you like. I've been on the hunt lately. I can also relate you your dining room table being your "studio/craft" room. At least, for me, It makes me HAVE to clean up when I'm done so my people can eat supper. Hope you have a great week friend!
ReplyDeleteTurned out great! I finally found a lampshade I needed in the right size just yesterday and need to give it some zing.
ReplyDeleteLove the lampshade. Such a talent you have! I do pretty good with a glue gun. Dont sew wish I did.. Happy Monday!
ReplyDeleteSo quick and easy...my kind of decorating. Looks nice too. I would never throw an old shade away after seeing this. LOL. xoxo, Susie
ReplyDeleteBetter than any you could have found! They look great!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this, Kris!! The burlap complements the wood in the lamp stand.

Too, too cute! I like that there is a strip of burlap around the shade instead of fully covering it with burlap. The strip makes a statement.
ReplyDeleteYou are so clever.
Looks great Kris. I have the same problem - can't find the shades I need and I was going to cover them with fabric, now you have given me some ideas.
ReplyDeleteHopefully Spring has arrived in Chicagoland. Been busy re-potting with some pretty flowers.
Have a terrific week.
Mary
Love the transformation! May I ask where you found that burlap ribbon? It is so neat!
ReplyDeleteHi Lucy,
DeleteI actually got this ribbon at a little shop I frequent. She only had a couple of rolls of it. I just thought it was so unique and have never seen it before. Sorry I could not tell you it was from Michaels, JoAnn Fabrics or Hobby Lobby that would make it easier but it was from a little shop.
Kris
Gorgeous! What a wonderful idea!

Perfect! The color of the burlap matches so nicely with the lamp base that it looks like it was made for it! But we all know that mass production never looks that adorable!! Love it! And...I spy the #3 birdhouse again :) Blessings, Cindy
ReplyDeleteVery cute!
ReplyDeleteWell done, Kris!
ReplyDeleteFunny that sometimes the easier things give us the most "pop" or bang for our buck.
If you were to even be able to find anything like that for sale it'd go for plenty, for sure - looks great.
Hugs.
That turned out so cute..and easy too...awesome!
ReplyDeleteThose turned out super cute, and with a glue gun. What could be easier. They fit your decor perfectly now.
