Chicken Wire Funky!

I recently saw these at Contended Sparrow and was inspired to make my own...
It all started with a red lampshade that was just sitting in the closet. 
After ripping the fabric off, I used my wire cutters and pliers to attach the chicken wire then gave it a couple coats of white Krylon Dual spray paint. 

My plan was to keep it like this, but the more I stared at it, 
it started to scream,
"D o l l  m e  u p !"

So I hot glued some French gimp to the top and bottom 
{if I'd had more, I would've added it to the 4 sides as well...but unfortunately I cleaned Hancocks out!}
I made rosettes out of muslin, rhinestone buttons, and this broach...

...and added some peacock feathers.
I had it on a black lamp base, but like it on the turquoise better...

Thank you for checking out my chicken wire lampshade! I hope you like it!

    I think that is so cute! Very funky! Maybe you can find one of those popular Edison bulbs for the lamp (since you see the bulb now) and show it off even more!
    Blessings, Lorraine

    Okay, I am in love with this. I recently ripped some fabric off a shade, and you have inspired me to take the wire shade to the next level. I'm going to pin and give you credit (of course)! Thanks for sharing!

    That turned out adorable! I was planning on using chicken wire on a cabinet door. I may try that with the scrap I have left over. Thanks for sharing! Dee from My Painted Stuff.

    Holly this looks great! I'm a fellow lampshade maker and have no less than 30 lampshades that need to be covered. Maybe I will have to do some with chicken wire.
    Hey, I'm a new follower - figured it was the least I could do since we are co-hosting a party together!

      You sure can! I just used a pair of jewelry pliars to wrap the wire around the frame. Thank you for inquiring! I hope yours turns out beautiful!

    I am trying to make something like this for a hair bow holder in my daughter's room. I got the fabric of the shade and it is incredibly sticky with glue. I soaked it in acetone, but I still can't get it all off. Did you have this problem?
