$2.99 lamp makeover

I was looking for a lamp for my vanity in my bedroom for a while.  I was in the thrift store and found this lamp and shade:

I took it a part and removed the wire and then realized I hadn't taken any pics.....so I put it back together:)  The wiring seemed old so I bought a new wiring kit for about 3-4 bucks.  the shade was quite ugly so I ripped off all the old fabric and was left with this shade form:

I cleaned the lamp and repainted the pieced in between each crystal piece.  the re-wired it with the kit I bought.  Now to decide what to do with the shade.  That was the hard part!  I just couldn't decide, so I tried ribbon and wrapped it all around and didn't like it.  I thought maybe paper, but no.  I eventually decided to use some muslin fabric and wrap and fold it around the shade and added some rosettes I made from the muslin and voila......here it is:

Not bad for $2.99 plus the $3-4 bucks for the wire for both a lamp and shade.  I really love it:)
