Throwing shade

I have a nice little lamp on the sideboard in the dining room...but somehow the shade had gotten pretty banged up and wrinkled in spots. And there was an odd stain on it...maybe the cleaning lady did it? Who knows?
Anyway, rather than throw it out I thought I'd try and salvage it with a little crafty creativity.
I had a couple of Chinese newspapers I'd saved from a trip to Asia a while back, saving them for some future project...so I thought why not decoupage the shade with them?
I cut them into strips, glue sticked them in place, and covered the whole thing with Mod Podge. Done.
The strips wrinkled up even more but I think it works, adds a little "hamish" quality  ;o)

Stained lampshade, not good

The finished project, Mod Podged and lovely
