Rope Light Shade

I was wondering through the discount store yesterday when I found a glue gun for $5Aus,

with a little more wandering I found some rope, some smaller brown string and finally I had an idea.

What if I tried to make a light shade for our hall?

First I started off with something to wrap it around and used the old globe shaped light shade - which I think is hideous! You could easily use a bowl too. Just check that it is the right size.

I used the glue gun to glue the end of the rope once it was wrapped around then

kept gluing the rope and wrapping as I went.

Note- You will need a packet of glue sticks for this as it take allot of glue and patience.

When I ran out of string I decided it needed something else so

 I found some brown twine and started gluing.

The final result was ...

I'm very impressed and maybe now a little glue gun addicted....

You can also use the same method over and existing shade.
