I am completely obsessed with covering lampshades. I finish one and start another. I'm planning to start selling them in August so get your requests ready.
I had a very plain chandelier that was begging for shades. I got these little ones at Lowe's. You can find all sorts of good stuff there.
To cover the shade, I used the method that I showed here...http://jennicanknit.blogspot.com/2012/07/recover-lampshade.html
Spray adhesive makes your job really easy... just do it outside so you don't get everything in your house sticky (I may or may not have done that!)
I had to include the above shot because I looooove those shoes.
I used tacky glue for the ric rac and the trim because I couldn't find my glue gun. It worked really well and dried clear.
While the shades dried, I added this old Christmas garland to the chandelier. I like to bling it up.
Finished! Have a crafty day!
Very nice! The Christmas garland makes it perfect! I've only used spray adhesive once and I used it in the house because I was in a hurry. Ha-ha! It turned into a WASTE of time in the long run since I got it all over me and everything else! ♥
