This is a thrift store lamp makeover.
I was in search of a medium size lamp and came across an old stained white lamp in a thrift store. The shade size and shape of the base was perfect so I didn't think twice.
I got this beautiful fabric from Hobby Lobby and had leftover turquoise paint from my previous project.
3M multipurpose adhesive spray is what I used to cover the shade with the fabric.

To cover the lamp shade:
Roll the lamp shade over the fabric, marking both ends using a pen and then cut it leaving 1 inch extra for gluing to the top and bottom ends of the lamp shade. Use the guidelines from below website:

For the lamp base:
Gave 1 coat of primer and 2 coats of paint. I painted the wire as well as it was really dingy.
This was for my master bedroom, with the leftover fabric I made 2 valances as well...See that in my next post..!
