I once was a lampshade

If you have an old lampshade with good bones
and fabric scraps that you can't part with...
 this is the project for you.
Simply remove the old shade.
Wind long fabric strips around the wire and hot glue or tie off to secure.
Add some ric-rac or ribbon tails, maybe beads, and you're done! 
This would be a fun rainy day project for the kids.
You could easily make it boy by
changing the colors and finding
little trinkets like soldiers, or dinosaurs to tie onto the ends.
