Using the same method of gluing fabric to mini blinds, I brought some spring into my dining room.
I bought a piece of fabric for $4.00 at the thrift store.
Previously I had a bamboo blind up and my lamp shade was slipcovered in black fabric.

There was just enough to make the blind and slipcover the drum shade.
I didn’t bother to sew the fabric on the shade, I just used pins. Easy to change that way.
A quick update for $4.00, can’t beat that!

Wow, this looks soooo gorgeous! I love the vintage print of that fabric, and having the matching pieces in the room is a huge impact!

ReplyDeleteFabulous!! You rock!!
ReplyDeleteI have a similar project in mind, I'll be stealing your idea. :)
Hi Mel, Thanks for visiting my blog. I took a tour of yours and you have some fabulous projects! I love the fabric you used on your shade with the bold wall stripes. Love it! You have fearless style! I'll be back.
ReplyDeleteNow you KNOW I love this! Fabulous job.
ReplyDeleteI use pins a lot too. It is the way to go for quick changes. That fabric is really punchy and perfect!
ReplyDeleteLove that fabric!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great pop of color in the dining room.
Nice job!
Kimberly :-)
great idea! looks good!
ReplyDeleteThat looks great. Did you just fold the fabric up, like a roman shade and pin it? I pinned my 3rd pillow on my patio set cause the party was coming too fast. It's almost a year later and I still have to fix it. The cushions and pillows have spent the winter in the garage. Time to get them out again. Enjoy your new dining room.
