Burlap Lamp Shade DIY

On a recent trip to Yakima for a Volleyball tournament I picked up this beautiful Crystal Lamp....

But the shade looked like this....

YUCK!!!

So I went to work to create this Lovely...

Big smile..happy sigh :)

So this is how I did it:

The first thing I did is rip off the old outside fabric on the shade.

Using burlap fabric that I already had on hand, I cut a stripe about 4 inched wider than the lamp shade measuring from top to bottom.

 Using my hot glue gun, I glued the it to one of the wires and then stretched it to the next one also gluing to it.  

On the 3rd wire I glued and then cut the fabric leaving it close to the wire.

I then went back and turned the burlap over the top  and bottom of the shade gluing it in place as I went.

I then started again but this time gluing on top of the last wire with the fabric on it.  I repeated this process until the shape was fully covered.

For the flowers I did a simple rolled flower You can find the tut here:  On The 36th Avenue  

One of my very favorite blogs I might add!!! :)

For the leaves I first covered one side with Mod Podge so they wouldn't fray.  After they were dry, I just cut out leaf shapes in different sizes.

I used the hot glue gun to glue them on....

EASY PEASY!!!!

Here it is lit...I wish I didn't have to sell it.....  :(
