Lamp Shade Recover

This lamp shade has been looking worse and worse every day

Not only is it dusty

and every attempt to wipe it clean just made it look dingier and dingier

I punctured a small hole in one side while cleaning it..

So, since necessity is the mother of invention

and I have looked all over for a fun lace lamp shade 

I decided to make one out of an old shirt.

(I know its hard to imagine I could part with this beauty

circa 1995.)

I cut the inner fabric layer out

and slid the entire shirt over the lamp shade

I cut away the top and bottom and hot glued it to the inside of the shade

then took a black ribbon and covered the seams on the inside

I love lamp!
