Description

I got inspiration for this project from the Living With Punks lampshade tute. No glue gun is required for this one. I love the raw messy look !

Instructions

  1. Small shade1 1313844871

    Take a naked lampshade and wrap each individual arm of the frame in strips of fabric. I tore my satin-like fabric into strips by hand, wound it around and tyed it to the frame.

    Cover the frame until all finished and shabby looking.
