Lampshade DIY

So I bought these 2 huge lampshades last year at V V and I have been meaning to recover them. But, knowing me, I will wreck it, or screw one of them up somehow..It's just in my nature to be an absolute clutz. So, I figured may as well do a trial run with project and so, that is just what I did.
I am going to apologize beforehand, but the following pictures are garbage! I don't know if I just don't know how to take a picture with my iPhone or what....but hopefully sometime I can save up for a Canon Rebel *drrroooolllll* and take some REAL pictures!

Step 1: Head to a discount store, once again, Value Village is where I stopped and shopped. Pick up a super ugly, old, you paid to much money for it ($5!!) lamp.

Step 2: If you have fabric scraps around the house..perfect, if not, I ran to Fabricland and picked some up. I had tons laying around the house, but I needed something to match this god awful base color. I came across this super adorable paisley bit for $6 in a discount bin. The picture sucks, don't mind the tag, just look at the prettttttty fabric!

                                      

Step 3: I traced out the triangle shaped sides of the shade and came up with something like this, I needed 4, as it is 4 sided :)

Just to clarify, I couldn't turn the darn picture, uffda.. technology and I are not meant to be!

Step 5: I used fabric glue that I picked up at Michaels to gluethe fabric to the sides of the shade. I made sure the pieces were large enough so that I could glue the fabric to the underside of the shade as well, so there was a tight pull to the fabric.

Step 6: You can do this step, or you don't have to, up to you. But I cut out a 1/2" wide strip that ran from top to bottom of each corner to the sides of the shade. It just gave it a cleaned up, crisp look to me.

Voila! Beauty..now about that base..maybe cream colored??

This fabric would look uber cute as curtains? No?
