Home Decor - Lampshade

Refurbished Lampshade


Supplies:
Old Lampshade
Old T-Shirt
Scraps of ribbon
Glue
scissors

First cut the hem off the bottom of the T-shirt and throw it away. Now cut 1 inch strips from the bottom of the T-shirt. Once several strips are cut, pull the strips to make the fabric roll a little. Tie ends together to make one long string. Now, wrap the long string around the lampshade horizontally. As I wrapped I hid the knots in the back. Once you have finished wrapping horizontally you can start to weave different colored ribbon into the T-shirt strings. Glue each ribbon down when you change colors.
