New Lampshade...

So, I'm not sure how many of you have heard of pinterest, but I'm obsessed...seriously, I spend entirely too much time pinning things to my boards. Why didn't I think of a virtual bulletin board?

Anyway, probably most of my projects will be from things I have seen there. For example, this lampshade I made last night. It was inspired by a lampshade from Anthropologie (which I couldn't afford), so here is the DIY version...

 

This is what you'll need:

hot glue gun with lots of glue sticks

an iron

 

burlap (I used the color natural but any color would work)

And, of course, the instructions might be helpful.You can find them at

(A big thank you to Magan Blasig who originally posted this on her blog).

And, the final product...

Unfortunately I don't have a before picture of the lamp - this is only my first project to post, I'll get better, I promise! But, I think it turned out pretty well, and it wasn't too hard to make. Let me know what you think!
