Lamp shade Before and After

By Debbiedoo's Team Published: Aug 29, 2010 · Modified: Sep 24, 2013

I found this cute lampshade marked down at Walmart for 7.00.

too plain, definitely needed some embellishments!

lamp shade makeover for Fall

I really liked the shape and texture. Of course much too plain for my liking, I thought with my FAVORITE season approaching I would FALL it up a bit.  This is the first of my Fall decor…much more to come.

I really like the texture.

What a cute touch…easy too, I just hot glued the leaves, made a little bow with twine and stuck it in the center.

As you can see I took the twine and wrapped it just around the top some.

How easy was that? EASY!~ Those are the only craft projects I know how to do, the easy ones!

Thanks for stopping by today!
