Steps:
1. Get out your lamp. This one is from Ikea and needs a little spice to it.
2. Find some materials at a craft store or around your house. I found some pearl/lace ribbon from my Mom's wedding, so I decided to use that based on the color and theme of my room. You can easily find some material at Hobby Lobby, Michael's, or any other crafting store.
3. Measure the thickness of your lamp. Mine was 1 in, so I could put the lace right on the 1/2 point so the lace will be in the exact middle. A tip that I used was to mark the 1/2 point around the lamp so I can visually see where I should put the glue.
4. Measure out the material you need. Mine was the perfect length to do both the top and bottom of my lamp shade, but if you only want to do one of the sides, that's fine too!
5. Get your hot-glue gun ready. You will need to make sure that the material sticks to plastic
6. Quickly, and carefully apply the glue. Hot-glue dries fast, so you'll be glad you already measured out your materials. Apply the material to the lamp shade and hold on for a few second to ensure that it is securely attached.
7. Let the lamp sit for a few hours to make sure that it is glued on well.
Great Job! Taking these few and easy steps is a good way to add character to some of your furniture. Don't stop here! Let your imagination and creativity flow by thinking of new ideas for different pieces of furniture.
