I finally finished it! My ribbon lampshade!!! I think that it is funky and turned out better than I expected. I think that it's very chic! I don't have a pic of the base before, (duh!) but I did manage to pull off a pic of the ugly shade that was on it before I started.

| The one that was on my small lamp was almost like this one. Mine did not have the design on the shade. |
It took me about 3 days to do this, but it's not like I was all "dedicated" or anything when I was working on this. I would watch the tele as I was working on it and just work on it here and there. I need to make a trip to "The Moon" so, I decided that I needed to get that one. After all, I think that it would look cute displayed on my not so sad ugly little dresser. (Which I have not forgotten, the outcome will be revealed in the next day or so.) In the meantime... Drum roll please.... lol! Just kiddin'!
 |
| This is what the bare bones of the shade looked like once I cut, ripped, and struggled to get the shade off of it. |
 |
| Uh yeah... not really sure what to say about this, but this was the part that took the longest... tying all these variations of ribbon onto the top of the shade ring. I double tied them to make sure that it would stay together. |
 |
| Duh! I forgot to take a shot of the base before, oh well... it was beige and I sprayed it with a black semi-gloss with glitter mixed in with the paint. I don't think that you can see the glitter in it though. I put 3 coats on it because the paint really didn't want to stick to the base, even though I cleaned it good before I sprayed it. |
 |
| All finished! It's very cute! If you are interested, it will be at The Moon tomorrow afternoon. :-) |
This was a fun little project. I think that I could have finished it sooner, but that's okay. My mom and I have been busy pickin' for some more projects that we are planning to start on next week to put up at The Moon! I'll keep you posted!
