Yesterday, after looking at Pinterest, (my new obsession) I decided I needed a craft day. I had been wanting to upcycle an old lamp shade for Laney's room and make a flower mobile that I had seen on the craft and DIY boards. Three hours and a trip to Hobby Lobby later, Laney had a new ribbon lamp for her pretty room. I decided to take photos of the process. It was quite easy!
It was cheaper to buy 6" cuts of fabric than spools of ribbon. I only spent $2 on the whole project!
Cut fabric into strips and remove fabric from lamp shade. I left the boning around the top and bottom for more support.
I found it easier if I cut the liner out first.
Tie at either top or bottom depending on the look you want. I ended up cutting the ties down and stuffing them in the top for a cleaner look.
Edge of fabric will be rough. Use ribbons if you want it cleaner.
I threaded the tulle through the ribbons to keep it in place and tied it into a bow in the front.
All Done!
