Materials:
Lampshade frame
2-3 rolls of wire edged ribbon - 5 yds. each
Stapler.
Directions:
I used 2 - 5 yds rolls of ribbon but 3 would look GREAT!!!!
Remove the ribbon from the cardboard roll it came on &
rerolled it to make the wrapping easier.
Start at the top of the frame, bend a 1/2" piece of ribbon over the top.
Staple...it is a bit tricky but can be done...
I went in from the side &
then put 2 staples in to fasten the ribbon to the frame.
Bring the ribbon down the outside & then back up
on the inside of the frame,
over the top & back down the outside.
Push the ribbon together for a fuller look as you wrap.
When you come to the end of the roll of ribbon
staple the old end to the new end & continue wrapping.
When wrapped to your liking staple the end at the top or bottom, your choice.
The last stapling is the hardest as you want to hide the staples.
Pull the ribbon back a little, staple the end
& then rearrange the ribbon to hide the staples.
Tie a bow or make butterflies with your left
over ribbon & glue where desired.
