Dish Towel Twirly Skirt

My Lamp Re-Vamp!!!
We got a hand-me-down lamp from the neighbors when they moved a year ago. It was dated, ugly and totally mismatched our house. We live in an old (1915) craftsman with all the beautiful, dark, thick original woodwork and trim. I decided to try to make the lamp look it belonged to our house.
Here's the before. I'm sure it was classy, gorgeous and wanted in the '70's. But it needs to be brought up to date!I painted it brown with Rustoleum American Accents spray paint. You gotta love the easiness of spray paint!
Next, I used Elmer's Craft Bond Spray Adhesive to glue the burlap onto the lampshade.
Just spray it on the lampshade and roll the burlap across it. Apply a little pressure to the burlap to make sure it is sticking. (Hello, Halloween witch's broom.)
I didn't take any pictures after this step! Whoops! Because the top of the shade is a little smaller than the bottom, I started in the middle of the burlap and worked it out without wrinkles as I glued. I should take a picture of the back of the lamp. The burlap is not completely straight. I don't know how to describe it.
Then I hot glued brown grosgrain ribbon around the top and bottom of the lampshade to complete the look. There! That looks much better and it "belongs" in our house with our dark brown wood trim! Much better!
