So I've been wanting new lampshades for these lamps we have in our living room, and I finally decided that "Hey I'm crafty" so I made some myself! I took my current lampshades and covered them with fabric, and since burlap is oh so in right now I used some of that! It was so easy and so fun and I'm really pleased with how they turned out! Plus I made them myself!!
This is my small end table lamp. I embellished it with some ribbon and a fancy button, I love it!
This is our tall lamp, next to the couch. We don't have a light in our living room so we really rely on these lamps. Surprisingly the round shade was harder than the square one and I couldn't figure out how to put the ribbon around it.
I forgot to take "before" pictures, but here are some pictures I took a while ago just of our living room. You can see the lamps in the background and so you can see how they used to look.
I love crafting on the weekends while Eric does homework!
