Boring to Fancy

Let's talk crafting.
Kins had a really boring pink lamp shade in her room.
Every time I saw it, it made me tired.  Not good.

So here's what I did.
Took said boring lamp:

Found remnant fabric at the fabric store, it's sheer and pretty and pinkish, corally..

Left to right: Cut out leaf-shaped petals, I used a lot, I didn't actually count. Then glue on, slightly over lapping. Then done. Easy and gives some great texture to a simple lamp shade. I like it. I don't love it, I think I would love it if the fabric wasn't so see through.

Working on some other ways to spruce up her room.
