Perhaps you have already seen 
the Moroccan inspired lamp that I had previously upcycled.  The shade languished about for a while like this.

| Very gold, indeed. | 
 And now, for a closer look at this plasticky, frilly detail:
|  | 
| Complete with sparkly gold ties that remind me of Christmas tinsel.  And a rip in the plastic fabric.  Lovely! | 
At any rate, I was 
inspired to do something with ribbon! So, the gold plastic ribbon went away, never to be seen again, and the lovely scalloped edge was revealed.

| Good bones! | 
One roll of lime green ribbon and a 
lamp swag kit later and I finally had a light over my vanity table.  Now I can actually see my face when I am applying my makeup!  I know, everyone here in my neck of the woods is grateful.  Finally, two versions of the finished project:  lit and unlit!
 Now, to find an old ratty shade with "good bones" for the other side of the room!  Off to thrift stores I go!
