No Sew Ruffle Lamp Shade

MMMM..... I am loving all the neutral pallets lately. Burlap, canvas, duck weave, all incredibly delish! So slowly I am trying to move out some of the bolder colors in my front room and go more neutral, fresh, and light!
One piece at a time I will get there.
So I started with this lamp shade.
Notice the lovely stain I can't get out....HIDEOUS!

 I took this luscious fabric....oh I love the woven earthy look!
 Next I cut it into strips.
 Then, because I am a horrid at sewing, I hot glued pleats all the way down each of my strips.
 I then layered each strip onto the lamp shade hot gluing those down as well.
 I added a little rick rack around the top and a flower ...
 And voila! New, no sew, lamp shade.
Can't wait to do some pillows!
