Lamp Shade Makeover

I've been on the hunt for two cheap buffet lamps for my shop.  I happened to come across two when doing a little bargain hunting with my hubby.  When he saw them he wasn't too impressed, but I knew they could be transformed! :)  Here is what I finally decided to do with the shades.

sorry for the blurry pic

Oh, so much better than the ruffled one I attempted the first time!  :)




 I had a few scraps of this french script fabric left over and I love it!  I didn't really have enough to do anything else with, but just enough for these two shades--it was meant to be. ;)

I love the fringe from the seam being on the outside!





I also made this cute little rosette to add a little detail.   


You can find the tutorial on making the lamp shade here and the tutorial for the rosettes here.  I will also post pics of the actual lamps when I get done (if I ever get done!).

Now I'm off to do the other one!
