Isn’t this Ruffle Lamp super cute?!
It lives in our playroom and I LOVE it, but it’s story doesn’t begin here…
I happened upon this lonely lamp shade sitting on the side of the road, just BEGGING me to stop and pick it up… so I did!
I spray painted the shade (surprise, surprise..) Krylon Catalina Mist.
Cut s strip of fabric 2x the diameter of the bottom on the shade in length and about 2.5 inches wide.
Stitch down the center of the ruffle using the longest stitch setting on your machine…
Pull ONE thread to create your ruffle.
Next plug in your hot glue gun…
Hot glue around the base of the shade and…
Press the ruffle into place.
Then place the shade on a super cute base and you have a new, super cute lamp shade!
Don’t you love how changing something as simple as a lamp shade can give an entire room a “new” feel?!
Such an awesome idea! I think I may have to try this for my little one's room when we redecorate!

Oh I really like that! I currently have a shade-less lamp that's been sitting in my living room for a month because I can't decide what to do with the shade! This is great!
CUTE! And I love the red base to it. Way to go!! Happy Wednesday! =D
Wow! I never thought to spray paint a lampshade. Now that I know you can, I'm going to town! Thanks for sharing. I love the base too!

I really like the fresh color combination of this lamp. It would be a great combo for other things, like party colors or stationary or a bedroom. And I completely agree that a small change like on a lamp can make a huge difference. Thanks for sharing!
