A shaded rose

A while ago whilst browsing the net I found a picture of the most lovely lampshade. I was just decorating my bedroom at the time and it was just the sort of thing I was after , but alas out of my budget at £120.00......but wait  I can do that!!! So with a flea market lamp that I bought for £3.50 the transformation started. I sat down in my craft room armed with some satin fabric, lace and  my trusty ol' glue gun and began my rose frenzy. I made lots of raggy edged rose flowers. I attached these to the lampshade and edged it all with lace. I sprayed the base with gloss white enamel paint and there you have it the finished lampshade. All at a fraction of the cost of the real one and great fun to make
