After redoing my guest room, my lamp did not match the decor. Instead of purchasing a new one, I simply covered an existing one with fabric to match the room. This is a great way to recycle an outdated lamp.

What an original idea! Beautiful job!
Great idea. I also liked the shade. Can you tell me where you got it?
Beautiful! and my favorite shade of blue. Thanks for sharing
Blue is my favorite color. Such a novel idea. Looks beautiful. Good job!
Thanks for the compliments. This is really an easy project. About the lamp shade, it came on the lamp and my sister-in-law gave me the lamp. So, I'm not sure where it came from. Sorry!
This is a very beautiful idea! Great job... I have some old lamps I think I am going to use this idea on!
I am new here and I am also wondering how to begin a project post. If anyone can help me, please send me a message... Thanks...
My revamped lamp; I call what I did: "rag tied". I got some metal leaf charms from Etsy.com & put one on each corner of the shade & added dollar store vines.
Many years ago, I read a similar suggestion. It called for measuring the height of the lamp and adding inches for a casing at the top and bottom. Those were sewn fo make a casing at each end. The fabric was about one and a half times the width of the lamp. Elastic was threaded through the casing and the fabric was gathered and the elastic ends sewn together.
