Industrial Chicken Wire Lamp Shade

Hi everyone! It's me  Tonya  and I am here to share a lamp shade I altered with MD Hobby and Craft Chicken Wire and  Maps  I turned into flowers to add a vintage charm to the shade. I started with this old and tired lamp shade that use to hang in my dining room until I replaced with another light fixture. I had held onto this thinking that I might be able to use it for something later on. I am so glad I did!!! After removing the fabric this was left with a metal frame. The chicken wire comes folded in half and rolled up. I had my husband help by holding while I cut with wire cutter in the fold and with determining how much to cut off the roll. Also it might be a good idea that if you don't have a "holder" to help  wear gloves because the wires do have sharp edges. I know...ouch! First make sure you have long enough wire that will wrap around the frame on all sides. Now begin wrapping each wire to the frame with needle nose plier...
