DIY Fabric Scrap Lampshade

1. Start with blank/old lamp shade (this one was purchased for $1.99 at Goodwill)

2. Purchase Tacky Glue & a roll of jellies (fabric scrap strips)

3. Put a thin strip of glue at the top edge and bottom of the shade, wrap strip around the shade, layer strips as you go.  I used clothespins to hold the strips in place as the glue dried because I pulled the strips pretty taut.

4. Let strips dry overnight.

5. Remove pins, place shade on lamp and display.

Paper Rose Light Fixture?

I absolutely love these delicate paper roses.  I want to find a way to use them in my house (in a place where the cats cannot reach them).

I started thinking about incorporating them into a light fixture.  Maybe some kind of DIY chandelier?  There are lots of tutorials out there for how to make your own artsy light display but none of them feel like the right style for me and I haven't found any incorporating flowers. I'll have to think on this one...
