Quickie Lamp Makeover

May 16, 2012

Since we have visitors coming to stay while we’re in Maine, I’ve been looking at our apartment with new eyes – I want everything to be nice for them! My bedside lamp has been looking a little sad lately and I wanted to give it a little lift.

Here’s how it went:

I found some fabric and ribbon, and warmed up my glue gun.

I tore the fabric into strips about two inches wide, and cut them to the length of the lamp shade.

I just glued those strips into place at each end.

It’s a little imperfect, but I didn’t mind. If you want to iron your fabric strips, work away. I just don’t really iron.

I like that the edges have a little fringe. But we’re not done yet!

Ribbon!

Et voila! A little makeover that’ll brighten the bedside table for our guests!
