| Updating a Lamp |
Approximate Time Less than 30 minutes
Supplies:
- lamp
- fabric
- craft knife
- rubber band
- ribbon or cord
Instructions:
First, remove the shade from the lamp. Center lamp base on piece of fabric large enough to cover all sides of the base to just below the socket. Using a craft knife, cut a small "x" near the base where the cord is located. Thread the cord through the cut. (You can apply Fray Chek around the slit if fabric frays easily.)
Gather fabric loosely around base. Arrange fabric so that the folds and gathers are evenly spaced around the lamp. Secure with a rubber band at the neck of the lamp just below the socket. Fold raw edges of fabric to the wrong side (in towards lamp, and tuck under the rubber band. Tie ribbon or cord around neck of lamp to cover the rubber band. Reattach the lamp shade.

RE: Craft: Updating a Lamp
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...
RE: Craft: Updating a Lamp
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!
