Do you want a quick change for your lamp shade? Just add ribbon.
All I had to buy was this less than $2 grosgrain ribbon from Wal-Mart. I already had the double sided tape. This is my favorite kind of tape. I don’t know what brand it is, but this is what it looks like.
I attached the double sided tape, going all the way around the shade on the top and the bottom.
Then I just peeled the covering off to reveal the stickiness.
I started at the seam and attached the ribbon to the tape all the way around the shade.
I used another little piece of tape to stick the ends together. And that’s it. Easy peasy! I love the splash of green.
Before ribbon.
After ribbon. So much more personality, don’t ya think? The color will make a lot more sense once the wall is painted and the pillows are made. Little by little, right?
Hope you all are having a wonderful weekend! It’s freezing here!
I love this Leanne! Such a simple thing, but it makes a ton of difference! Can’t wait to see the paint!

i like it! really makes it pop!
Now thats a cool idea !
I’m surprised at how much of a difference that little bit of colour made. I really love the green – looks great.
What a lovely little touch that makes a big difference. I may try it sometime soon! I plan on replacing a shade with a drum shade like yours when I get to that place in my playroom makeover. Thanks for sharing.
I found you from TDC!
What a perfectly simple idea! NEVER would have thought to do that! Following you now! 🙂
