I started with a blue base from Target ($10) and a white lamp shade from World Market ($10). I bought a yard of lace from Hobby Lobby using a 40% coupon so I think it came to about $4 or so. I measured and cut the lace so that it fit width-wise across the shade.
I then took some Krylon Easy-Tack Re-positionable Adhesive and sprayed the shade and laid down the lace. This was not as hard as I thought it was and I was able to reposition as needed. I think used Valspar Gloss spray paint in Red to color the negative of the lace. My only regret... I wish I would have spray painted a heavier layer of red. I was concerned that the color would bleed and make the lace design not as crisp but it didn't at all. I have some lighter red on one side but I just turn that part to the back (shhhh..... don't tell anyone) I also removed the lace right away to let it dry.
Overall a success!!! And a great DIY project for beginners.
