weekend finds | Fabric Shopping

I couldn't help myself and came home with some beautiful fabrics this weekend! Now to decide whether to make pillows or upholster with these...

diy idea | Flash Card Lampshade

Since I'm still on my lampshade kick I thougth I would share another easy to make lampshade idea. Didn't take step by step pics as usual but I'm sure you can get the idea.

You will need:
1 Round or drum type shape Lampshade
24 (or so) flash cards
24 (or so) Mini Clothespins...can be found at larger Joann Fabrics stores or online here.

So you could be all technical about it and measure the spacing around your lampshade but that's not me so I simlpy started clipping around the base first and then around the top, alternating as I went to my taste.

And here she is...super easy!!!
