Lamp Shade DIY

So I previously posted the lamp shade from mama says sew's blog... And I finally got around to re-doing the lamp shade for my daughters room. :) This was the $1 lamp I had picked up from the thrift store, and I wish I had taken before-before pics because it was a HIDEOUS brass color before. All I did was spray paint the base, and I used a shade that I already had. I picked up about 1.5 yards of burlap and used my hot glue gun... it was MUCH messier than I had anticipated, but I'm thrilled with the results! I followed "mama's" instructions with a few exceptions and I think I made mine slightly fuller. But it was a great tutorial and I hope if some of you attempt this you'll let me know how it turns out :)
Final Product :)
