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!
