After painting the exposed parts of the frame white, it was time for the new fabric! I had a hard time finding a good one though. I finally settled on this one. It is a bit lacy, so it will let out the light, but not so lacy that it still won't still function as a lamp shade. Plus, these lamps are usually from the 30's and 40's, and this fabric gave me that feel.
Parts ended up crooked, and I need to improve my aim with the glue gun just a smidgen, but overall I am quite pleased with my second ever lamp shade makeover :).
I tried to get the edging to look as "professional" as possible. I think I did pretty good. I hope!
It was also fun to see that the fabric had originally been a pale shade of pink. You could see it in the creases of the original fabric. Pretty cool.
