Simple, Cheap and Easy Project

This simple and easy project cost me about $2.50 for each
lamp. All you need to start with is ribbon, tassels and

a lamp shade.
First I started with cutting the ribbon for the tabs, 2.5 times
the lenght as the width of the ribbon. I folded and ironed
the tabs in half then I folded the top of both sides about
a 1/4 inch ( this is the part that will fold down into the
top of the shade). I hot glued the flaps to the shade.
Then I ran the ribbon through the tabs. For this look. I took
the tassel and hooked it to the ribbon. Brought a new look
to an old shade and a little something to the living room.



Next shade is designed a bit different. It has 6 pleaded
parts that go down the lenght of the shade so I went
with a different look for it.

Same ribbon, tassels just applied differently.




I had the shades, and the glue sticks so all I purchased was the
ribbon I liked and the tassels. Now I have a new look to the
shades. Took about 15 min. to finish off both shades.


Thanks for stopping in. Please leave a comment so I know
