DIY: Coiled Felt Lampshade

I got this lamp and shade at the Goodwill for $18!! It’s mondo……over 3 feet tall I think. My best lamps I have gotten at the Goodwill. It had fabric on the shade that was tearing so I took it all off and made this:

Felt is super cheap (like $5 a yard), so this is a pretty inexpensive DIY, it just takes time. It’s kinda slow goin’. I think this took me a good 7 or 8 hours, but I would just do it while I was making phone calls or in bed at the end of the day. I used hot glue and needle and thread. You have to like the de-constructed look for this to be your cup of tea. It exposes the elements and doesn’t try to hide them….which is good for the amateur like me!
