Lamp Redo

Our office/craft room has no color. It's black, white, and occasionally silver. Blah.  So in order to bring color to this room we decided to go all out and use BRIGHT! COLORS! through the whole thing. When I whipped out pink and orange and green and purple for Jimmy to look at, he was kind of hesitant. But as he has seen things start to take shape, he is getting more into it. The first project I took on was probably also the easiest: The lamp shade. Start to finish, I maybe spent 30 minutes decorating the shade. I'm still iffy on whether to paint the base (it's black) or not, but for right now, I am very happy.</div>

Originally the shade was a red textured fabric. I covered over it with a fuschia fabric first. Then I took strips of wired striped ribbon and cut 8 lengths to cover the lamp and then wrapped around one at a time, using the wire to hold position. I secured with my absolute favorite adhesive for just about anything:  sticky strip (tacky tape). That's it!
