Ruffle Lampshade

I found this lamp at Goodwill that was an ugly wood and brass combo. I spraypainted the lamp black. I loved the shape of the lampshade it came with but it was an ugly old tan color so I needed a new lampshad. This is what I cam up with.

I cut out strips of a white sheet that I had used for another project and made them into ribbons. I then hot glued them onto the lampshad. I thought it needed a little something more so I made a few flowers and glued them on one side.  

I especially love the frayed edges of the ruffles!!

Ribbon Lamp Shade

Project #6/30

When I picked up this lamp base at Goodwill it was dark brown. I painted it cream and found a wire basket that would go perfect as a lampshade. Then I intertwined ribbon throughout the basket, but left enough spaces so that light would still get thru.
