Lamps are so easy to find at the thrift store, or at a garage sale, but they are often are in colors that you may not like or the shades can be a bit old looking. I found a pair of lamps last weekend at my neighbor’s yard sale and the shape of the shade and the lamp itself were wonderful and perfect to flank each side of my couch, but the color was terrible. So I went searching online for a DIY idea to bring these lamps up to scratch. I found this awesome DIY scrap fabric lamp makeover by Mark Montano, on YouTube, and I knew this would be a perfect idea to cover up the lamp’s blemishes.

Materials For The DIY Scrap Fabric Lamp Makeover:

• A lamp that needs some help
• Scrap fabric (cut or torn in strips)
• A hot glue gun
• E 6000 glue
• Glue sticks
• Craft paint (for the top of the lamp)

Directions:

In this awesome DIY scrap fabric lamp makeover by Mark Montano, on YouTube, you will learn to transform any lamp and shade. You begin by stripping the fabric off of your shade. Then you will place a nail in a post and twist all of the fabric strips, in preparation for your project.

Then, you will glue all of the fabric strips around the lamp, and the shade frame. This project is really so easy, you will have so much fun making this cute project!

I just love the look of this project, and remember, you can always glue in some fabric panels if you don’t want the bare bulb showing.
