i must admit, my diy lampshade project is not going as well as planned.
i purchased the lamp shade for $2.00 at my local thrift store.
isn’t it pretty?
then i took the top layer accordion style fabric off.
super easy.
then i cut the old cover open and laid it flat to use as a template.
this is where things started to get complicated.
i originally planned on using a white fabric to cover the shade.
when i held the shade up with the white fabric you could see the yellow coming through, yuck!
back to the drawing board.
i need a fabric that isn’t as transparent, maybe something with more pattern?
i always go back to the chevron print.
apparently i am not alone.
check out this chevron lampshade makeover!
fabric.com has some great options for chevron fabric.
i can’t decide if i want a chevron print lampshade or throw pillows.
cushions direct sells chevron print pillows for $18.95 each!
check them out here!
i really need to make up my mind.
what do you think?
