Updating a Lamp

My boyfriend and I just purchased a new bed so I've been looking for ways to do a whole colour scheme for our bedroom. We bought a comforter set that is grey, white, and coral colours and the bedframe for our bed is a dark rustic wooden colour. I've chosen to accent the room with a rustic room and a part of the process involved updating the lamp we had.

Materials:

-4 packs of Off white rope

-Hot glue gun

-White glue/school glue

-Water

-paper (K & Company paper roll, $1.50 @ Dollarama)

Instructions:

-Using the hot glue gun glue the rope around the lamp shade, adding more glue as you go around (make sure as you go around to keep the rope tight and close together).

-Take the paper roll and cut strips and pieces of it.

-Mix the white glue and the water (a quarter of the amount of glue you have should be the amount of water you use so if you have 400mL of glue, add 100mL of water to it).

-Dip the strips of paper into the mixture and added it to the base of the lamp, covering the whole thing and smoothing any edges as you go (this part is really messy). Also because my lamp had curves the strips couldn't be placed smoothly. I personally liked this look).
