Carol at The Polka Dot Closet transformed a lamp shade with lace and vintage crinolene. After removing the old fabric, the lace was glued and clipped around the entire frame.

After letting the glue dry, the next step was to pin on the crinolene and hand sew in place around the bottom edge. This finishes off the lamp shade with an oh so romantic touch.
