Ruffled Lampshade DIY

I bought some lampshades a while back {from Wally World} for my crystal lamps that I found at Tuesday Morning. They just weren't the right style though. I saw this ruffled lampshade idea on Pinterest from Crafty Texas Girls. Click here for the full tutorial.

Here is what my plain jane shades looked like before:

I bought some cheap muslin for the ruffles. I ruffled until I thought I could ruffle no more. 

And then I hot glued...and glued...and glued some more.

If I could do this over, I would have spaced the ruffles out a little more. The lampshade weighs a lot {haha!}.

I ran out of muslin after the first lampshade, and I haven't gone back to get more yet. So, this is technically an unfinished project. Oh well. 

Oh and I didn't do any editing to these photos. I am finally getting better at using my little camera {at least I think I am! What do you think? Yes, I am fishing for a compliment :o) }

Have a wonderful weekend!
