New look for old light shades

I have had these little light shades for a few years now

I bought them to replace some cracked glass ones that were on this light fitting 

when we bought the house 171/2 years ago.

I wanted to cover them but just hadn't gotten around to it

Well this week I got in the mood and started

I wanted to use what I had,not go out and start buying

I cut out a shape to fit around them

Glued it in place with craft glue,which says dries clear

Not sure it will not show on this plain fabric 

I hope it does but just to make sure

I glued some fancy braid around the top and bottom

I didn't want to remove the metal gold piping in case the paper covering came with it,

So I only put the fabric up to it.

They needed something more so

a few paper roses did the trick I think. I don't mind pink and blue together

My two favourite colours anyway.

I am very pleased with the result.

I did turn them around after I took this shot though,  so the seam didn't show from the front.

I will be joining my regular bloggy friends parties

The links are on my side bar

Have a happy week
