If it's real grosgrain, as opposed to a craft type ribbon, you can "steam" a slight curve into one edge and remove the fullness so it lays better on the shade. It's hard to describe but you pin one end down to the ironing board and pull the length into a slight curve forcing one edge to take on a slight ripple. Hold the iron about 2-3" above the ribbon and give it a couple good bursts of steam and use your hand to gently pat out the fullness on the rippled edge. Work small sections at a time and when the whole length is done set the ribbon by using the iron in an up and down motion (not back and forth, it'll undo everything you just did) and DO NOT move the ribbon until completely cooled and dry. Sounds time consuming but it's really not. Just takes a bit of practice.debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04879013275518538838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-67758648476220001992010-01-20T17:26:00.567-05:002010-01-20T17:26:00.567-05:00You did good, they look perfect

I think it's owned by TJMaxx and is very similar but even cheaper!) and they had a great selection of lampshades that I think were overstock from Martha Stewart's line at Kmart for 2.99 each! I was excited because I occasionally see good lamps at thrift stores but by the time you pay to replace the shade you may as well buy a new lamp from homegoods!Pam @ bibbidi-bobbidi-beautifulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07665004943835477442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-7218616375637857312010-01-20T12:53:16.031-05:002010-01-20T12:53:16.031-05:00Oh gosh!
