Lampshade REDO




I saw this great lamp over at Imperfectly Beautiful and LOVED it! Those fabric rosettes are just the thing my little lamp needed!
 STained lampshade...I don't know who and I don't know when...but someone got some fingerprints on it! I have long given up trying to keep grimy little hands off of things...


I made my fabric rosettes....just hot gluing as I wrapped them. (Click on the link above for complete how-tos!)
But they looked funny on my lamp. (I might have made them too small)
I needed a little something else.
I found these leaves I made for a pillow that I have never gotten around to sewing

I hot glued those on first and then hot glued my flowers on.


I like hers better...but happy that my little dirty secret is covered up!

    It's way cute! I can't tell you how many shades I've tossed because they were too dirty. Now I know there's hope for them. Thanks for sharing!
