What a difference a new Lamp Shade can make

I've had this Lamp for several years
and as you can see its started falling apart




This is what it looked like on my little table in my living room
It truly needs an upgrade. My poor Lamp looks so sad.
I'm no expert and I just try and figure things out as I go.
 First you have to find the right Lamp Shade, you can find them at any Craft Stores or Walmart. I found mine at Hobby Lobby.
The starting cost was $5.99 however, it was on sale for 50% off! Yes!!!
One of the issues of trying to replace an old lamp shade, is finding one that will connect with the style of the light Bulb. These new Lamp Shades Clamp on. That makes it so much easier...
I also found that the Ribbon at Hobby Lobby is 30% till tomorrow
I believe after looking at so much Ribbon, I finally found
The Ribbon for my Lamp.
Time to pull out the Hot Glue Gun. (Please be careful, you can really get a bad burn with a Hot Glue Gun)

I am so excited how this turned out.
It makes such a difference with my little table and adds
So much color. I hope you like my new Lamp Shade

I think my table looks so cute and I cannot wait to see what changes I can make next.
What you want to do when you are buying a Lamp Shade with some Ribbon,
Have the store employee measure the Lamp Shade to get the correct amount of Ribbon
