Everything’s Coming Up Roses

I’m not very good at redoing fabric on lampshades, but my daughter wanted to do a lampshade for my granddaughter and I thought I could handle this one.  This is our inspiration picture.

Roses and petals lampshade

It costs {on average} $150.00.  For just the lampshade.  A bit too steep for either of us.  Of course, my daughter wanted the scalloped shade, so after finally finding one at a decent price, we got started.

I know it’s hard to see in the inspiration picture, but the main part of the shade is covered in white rose petals and then the roses are along the top and bottom edges.  A trip to Michaels was in order to get supplies.

$1.99 per bunch of roses {I got nine and it was just enough}.

$6.98 for the box of petals {300 petals per box}

The shade was $12.00 {purchased online}

After a couple of hours, this is what I wound up with.
