I’ve been a Pinterest nut for a while now – I’ve only been able to try a few pins ranging from very yummy stuff to eat to a few DIY projects!!! (By the way – you can follow my Pinterest here or follow the link on the right)… Quite a while ago I got this idea (see pic below) on Pinterest & decided I could make do with this project!!!
Here is my before:
My setup:
- 1. My ‘before’ lampshade
- 2. Chosen Fabric
- 3. Scissors, glue, measuring tape & masking tape
I started by cutting the fabric in the correct length with 2 inches to spare on all the sides!! Then I started at a side and started to glue the fabric onto the lampshade section by section…
Once I’ve glued all the sides and tucked everything in, I taped all the joints and edges with masking tape to leave overnight for the glue to dry…
My very satisfying after:
Have you been doing any DIY projects??

Much, much, muuuuuuuuch nicer!!!!
Well done, I love the ‘new’ shades.
That is pretty cool.
I’ve never done anything like that before, you are pretty good at it. Where do you find the time?
Haha Leanne – I did this quite a while ago in moments of utter frustration – I just could not handle the yellow colour anymore!!!

Oh, you are so talented!! I love it
I was checking out Pinterest recently too, but I just can’t seem to fit it in with everything else I am into. Oh well!
Thanks Cindy!! I’m a pinterest addict!!! Somehow I always load the page – even if it is just for a glance!!!

I haven’t given in to Pinterest yet…we’ll see. And I love the change to the lampshade. So much more life.
Thanks TBM – they still seem new to us, although they’ve been changed for quite a while now!!!
