My Creative Space


Thought I would have a go at covering my bedroom lamp shades today to give them a bit of a lift as they looked so plain.


Fabric all cut spray ready be careful with that spray I thought my room was well ventilated but ended up having to go out side, then I didn't check the wind direction first hee.

 I was thinking what have I started?  If I work with the spray glue again I think a mask will be purchased. I entertained myself making them, thank god I didn't video it you would have had a laugh.


I am so pleased how they turned out the glue does hold well on the fabric as one of the shades I realised I had put the fabric on upside down as you can see by the run of the pattern that would have been wrong told ya I was having fun & games hee.

Happy Creating.

Lainey :) x

    Thay are lovely! just lovely.
    I started some stupid old ones over at my place about three years ago and the fabric was old and stained so decided to rip it off and start with a bare frame the other day. That was a bad idea!
    You are much smarter than that, wind direction and all :)

    Hello
    I've just discovered your blog through The Haby Goddess' 'Make Grow Thrift' and am looking at some of your older blogs. I really loved this post and glad I found it as I have tried to recover lamp shades, with little success, so I am going to try this way. So, thank you.
    PS Your lamps looked beautiful.
