Fall Leaves and Twine Gave My Plain Lampshade a Seasonal Makeover

A textured lampshade marked down to $7 at Walmart became my first fall decorating project of the season. I liked its shape and surface, but wanted to add a small seasonal detail.

The shade before decorating

The original shade was plain enough to work as a background for the leaves and twine.

Add leaves and a twine bow

For this makeover, I hot-glued the leaves to the outside of the shade, made a small bow with twine, and placed the bow in the center of the leaf arrangement.

Wrap twine around the top

I also wrapped twine around the top of the shade to repeat the material used in the bow.
