How about giving the "Old Shady" one...
a brand spanking "New Look"
I am sure somewhere in your attic or basement you got one of those old and ugly lamps stashed away... and that poor ugly lamp is just waiting for you to find it so you can bring it back to live with a little paint and some beautiful fabric...
*****
All you need is....
- That "Old Shady Lamp"
- Your favorite Printed Cotton Fabric
- Spray Glue for Fabric
- Black Satin Paint
- Velvet Ribbon
- Double-Sided Tape
- Ruler, Fabric Marker, Scissors, Paint Brush, Clothespins
- Sandpaper (for Metal)

Place the fabric face down on a table...
then take the lamp shade using your ruler as guide make several marks where the fabric needs to be cut in order to fit the lamp shade - cut the fabric to size...
Make it stick...
Next... apply your spray glue to the back of your fabric... wait a few seconds, then press the fabric firmly around the shade -
take the clothespins and temporarily secure the fabric to the shade.
Now take the double sided tape and apply it to the back of the velvet ribbon... place the ribbon to the top and bottom edge of the shade...
From Color to finish...
Take the sandpaper and slightly sand down the base of your lamp...
next apply two coats of the black sating paint... let everything dry
Voila... All done
