Revamp an old lampshape

Do you have a ‘classic’ lamp and not sure what to do with it? Something like this?

Without having to get rid of the lamp, you can refresh the look of the lamp by simply recovering the shade with new material. Something modern that will fit in with the rest of the room. I bought some pretty material and recovered the lamp using only a glue gun.

To finish off the edges on the inside nicely, I glued some rafia ribbon onto the edge:

As easy as that! Within a short while you will have a brand new lamp!
