lampshade makeover

i'm back as promised to show you a little project i got done in about an hour- from start to finish. and don't we all love projects that can be done in one sitting! well i do ;)

so here's what i started with. a 50 cent lampshade found at the markets.

 i then cut strips of fabric (an old sheet) about 2.5 times the height of the shade.

and then simply ties them in knots around the shade, keeping them close together.

i made sure the knots were tied at different heights too.

here it is finished! i love that the inside is also completely covered.

if you wanted a neater finish, you could always tie the knots on the inside.

and if i change my mind, the original shade can go back on.

here's what it looked like before.
