Lamp shade for vintage jug

Well here it is, my attempt to make a lamp out of a red wing jug............I have been wanting to do this for sometime but did not have a shade big enough. I found the shade at a garage sale for a $1.00. I have a lot of dollies so I took a large one and cut the center out. I then folded over the edges and glued with elmers glue. I used a vintage ribbon to add a little shabby chic to it. I love the light when it is on at night it has a romantic look. I also want to mention Laura at 52 FLEA is having a 500 post give back, you really need to get over to her blog and check it out! You may want to win this one. I love all the vintage items she likes to take photo's of, I have enjoyed her site a lot this past 9 months.........I am a newbee to this blog thing and I love it alot. Have a great Day!!!! XO MARY
