today i’m going to share with you this simple and easy lamp revamp

isn’t it just lovely now?!? i love love love the fabric. i’m wishing i would have gotten a lot more of it.

here is the before. i purchased it at a local goodwill store for about $6.99

first i took the shade off and covered the electrical part with a plastic bag and taped it down tight.

i also covered the cord at the bottom so it didn’t get sprayed either.

then, i primed and spray painted a few coats of white.

while that dried i cut the beads off the lamp shade.

next i laid my fabric out upside down and rolled my lamp shade on the fabric while marking with a pencil about 1″ above the top and bottom.

i cut my fabric out, wrapped it around my lamp shade, marked where the fabric came together, and sewed one straight simple line to make a ‘slipcover’.

i then hot glued the extra 1″ fabric on the top and bottom inside the lampshade and finished it off with some ribbon.
