Here is my Pottery Barn/Ballard Knock off! :)
This is the original lamp shade, it was once black, after 20 years, it's not black anymore! Wow, that is a lot of dust and years for that fabric!
Lesson learned! Using burlap, does not make for see-thru lettering. Next time, I will not print out my lettering, and tape it to the inside, I couldn't see ANY words. I had to free hand all that writing! Augh! And I tried graphite paper to copy it, flash lights to light it up more in the shade to see-thru, nada... Next time I will use the light box, my copy of the font and sentences,etc; and then take the sharpie to the burlap or whatever fabric...
Lesson learned... after marking my pattern on the burlap piece it was just cut and paste! or hot glue... you know what i mean!
and this is the result!
you did a great job!!and saved a bunch of money too:)
