\nOnce I saw this <\/a>picture on Pinterest I knew I had to make one of these ruffle lampshades. I just fell in \u00a0love instantly.
\nSo after a little internet browsing I came across this<\/a> tutorial and after a lot of burlap, cutting and gluing, I had achieved exactly what I was looking for! And then I made another one!
\nMaterials:<\/strong>
\nLamp shade- \u00a0I bought both of mine from Walmart.
\nBurlap- about 3 yards (for two!)
\nScissors
\nGlue gun and glue sticks
\nSpray adhesive (optional)
\nIroning board and iron
\n<\/a>
\nDirections:<\/strong>
\n1. Cut a piece of burlap big enough to cover your lampshade, leaving about an inch on the top and bottom to fold over and glue to the inside. Either use your spray adhesive to attach the burlap, or hot glue is fine, too.
\n

\n2. Next, cut about 40 strips (per lampshade) of burlap measuring approximately 1.5-2 ” wide (depending how big you want your ruffle) by 1.5 times as long as your shade is tall. I believe mine were 2″ x 15″.
\n3. Fold these strips in half and press with an iron.
\n<\/a> <\/a> <\/a>
\n4. Next, using your glue gun, make a squiggly line down your lampshade and attach the creased side of the piece of burlap to the squiggly line of glue. It’s okay for the piece of burlap to be longer than the lampshade as it can be trimmed. Keep going around the lampshade trying to keep the squiggly lines of glue in varying directions to give the shade a little more dimension.
\n<\/a> <\/a>
\n5. Keep going! It’s going to look weird before it looks better! Once you’ve gone all the way around the shade, go back and fill in any major gaps. And that’s it!
\nI truly love these lamps and am glad I didn’t have to pay a ton of money to get the look I was going for!
