Lampshade Makeover 3x’s!

About a year ago, I purchased this lamp at an auction.  I love the base of the lamp but for some reason, I haven’t been able to figure out  what  to do with the shade.

This was the first make-over of the shade.  I added  trim to the top and bottom of the shade and attached a tassel to the base.  I wasn’t very happy with it, but just left it and thought I would try again later.

The second time around,  I added a bead trim around the top of the shade.  Well needless to say, I still wasn’t very happy with it.

And now for the third make-over……I added a burlap rosette and trim!

I Googled  “fabric rosette” and the search  resulted with  tons of hits on how to make a fabric and/or paper rosette.   It was so easy to do.

Finally, I can say that I am happy with how the shade turned out.

Thanks for stopping by and may your day be filled with all the happiness it can hold.
