I put my crafty hat on and turned an ugly lamp shade into a fun one, using some of Mrs. Emerald’s favorite colors!
Here’s how:
MATERIALS:
- Lamp Base
- Circular (NOT GRADUATED) lampshade (you can’t properly wrap ribbon horizontally around a “typical” graduated lampshade)
- Ribbon of your choosing
- Hot glue gun
The directions are pretty straightforward. Hot glue ribbon around the lampshade. Get creative with varying widths and color patterns.
Make sure all the “ugly seams” line up, that way you can cover them with a vertical strip of ribbon.
That’s it! You can customize a lamp to match any room in your house!
Merry Christmas!

YAY!! And I was the lucky recipient of the lamp =) Thanks Penguin!
Ha, we have about 40 spare lampshades scattered around the house — will definitely have to give your tips a try. (Long story involving a crazy deal at a decorator’s auction … I only needed two!)
