Wonderful tutorial. But I had to tell you, I saw a cute little lampshade the other day in some catalog…they used a zebra fabric that had some spandex in it, then bit of elastic top and bottom, just a little taller than the lampshade would be. Talk about an easy fix. I am thinking about trying that for a temporary fix until I decide what I’ll do for design scheme in this room. I’d love a beachy theme like your guest room if I can figure out how.

I stumbled upon your site and just love it! :0) This tutorial is great! I have some old lamps that I spray painted bright red but the shades are oh so ugly. I’ve never redone shades before and I was dreading it but now I’m totally inspired as your instructions made it seem like something I could tackle!
