Paper Roses Lampshade...

It took me a while, but I finally finished making over this lampshade...

I would have never attempted such a feat - but this shade goes with a pretty marble and alabaster lamp.  It had an unfortunate incident that resulted in ugly water marks on that lovely silk...

Since I wasn't planning to buy a new shade - I needed to brainstorm.  I have a ton of free white tissue paper lying around - so my little brain went from there.  I cut some strips - rolled them into roses - used a bunch of hot glue and just kept going...

At the end - I went back and filled in spots or reglued the roses for a tighter fit.  What a grand looking lady!

I'll post a picture later with it's pretty base.

I'm linking up with all the other loveliness at White Wednesday.
And...there's a Under $100 Linky Party at
