 liven up an ordinary lampshade flea finds: 1. white cloth or paper shade that fits your lamp 2. Select several different colors of seam binding (pick mostly light tones, but include one or two darker colors for contrast. A random combination of colored strips will result in the liveliest shade) other materials: 1. fabric glue 2. scissor directions: 1. to make the first strip, glue one loose end of the seam binding to the upper rim of the shade with glue; pinch until the glue holds. Dab glue on the bottom rim directly below the glued top end; hold the seam binding taut, and press it in place on the bottom rim, pinching until the glue holds. Cut the binding cleanly along the bottom edge. 2. continue to add strips of different colors (see step 1) overlapping half of each strip over the previous one. 3. after completing step 2 all the way around the shade, run glue along the top and bottom rims. 4. apply bias trim tape over the bottom and top exposed edges. tip: chic recycler "flea finds" are found throughout the fleatique house  ask Lee (the flea) for a "flea find" not found in our house!
