Anthropologie-esque lampshades

Anthropologie-esque lampshades

I saw some lampshades made by my friend Andi (she is crazy amazing) and I wanted to try to mimic them because I loved them so much! Mine didn't turn out quite as awesome, but they were fun and I still liked how they turned out.
 *I wish she had a blog I could direct you to--ANDI, GET ON IT*

These lamps are now in the master bedroom and I love the softer light they put off now. 

I redid some lampshades that I already had (I think these ones were originally bought from WalMart for $7 each)...

I used a natural burlap and LOTS of glue sticks! It also helps to have a rotary blade and mat because you end up cutting out a lot of strips. 

My strips were 18" long, and 1 1/2" wide. I probably used a yard and a half of burlap.
Here is a great tutorial on how to make the rosettes using the same idea as the CSI Project--burlap rosettes
