Revamp any lamp shade by adorning it with handmade fabric flowers, rhinestones, feathers, or jewels. Simply glue to the lamp shade with a high temperature hot glue gun.
I took created 3 different flower templates in alternating sizes out of some cardboard. I took muslin fabric and cut out 2 of each size template, to make 12 sets of 5 alternating sized flowers. I took several of the flowers and rolled them around in my hands, like you are making a paper ball. This added a crinkle effect and frayed the ends. Next, I layered the sets of 5 and placed several stitches through the middle to hold the flower together.
Finally, I measured the lamp shade and made marks on the lamp 5 inches apart, alternating around the entire lamp shade. Lastly, glue the flowers to the lamp shade with a hot temp glue gun. **A hot temp glue gun is very important since the lamp will get hot once used...a regular glue may melt from the heat of the lamp**
