Lampshade makeover with fabric and Mod Podge

Lampshade makeover with fabric and Mod Podge

Hi there friends! This is not my first rodeo with lampshades. It’s been a long time since I have made one over though. I don’t like to see many things plain ole’, plain ole’. This past week I have spent some time at our condo. I had a girls get together and before they came, and even after I was on a craft roll.

If you missed my Dollar Tree wooden cutout makeovers you can check those out HERE.

The next time we will back at the condo will probably be our most exciting. My Mom and sister will be coming along. It’s been a long time my Mom has been waiting patiently. She picked out her own curtains for her room, and I decorated the rest with a fun and whimsical touch. This place isn’t meant to be fancy, with many frills. It’s meant to be enjoyed, comfortable and fun.

My Mom loves birds and she found these sheers on Amazon. I found the perfect bird pillow for the bed.

This room is not a matchy-matchy room what so ever. Somehow, through my eyes, it all works. I like to consider myself a the perfectly imperfect decorator and person as well. Don’t expect much, and hey, you may or may not be surprised.

I bought my Mom a fluffy pink robe so when she is here she is warm and cozy at all times.

I know you came here for the lampshade. I had to have some filler in between to talk about, because truly there is not much to this makeover.

Plain fabric shade, fabric swatches, sponge brush and a bottle of Mod Podge. The same supplies I have been using all week for my other craft projects:)

All I did was paint the center of the lamp shade in the middle section with Mod podge, then paint the back of the fabric swatch with Mod Podge and add each fabric square at a time. I went over each one as I went along with the Mod Podge.

Nothing to it! But it sure adds a little more texture, color and whimsy to an ordinary shade.
