Lamp Shade Ideas
I have 2 very old lamps. They are black wrought iron and glass. I want to redo the lamp shades. The color doesn't matter much. I just want to know if anyone has any ideas on how I can redo them.

Shower Curtains as Tablecloths
Now is the season for outdoor parties, graduations, etc, instead of using paper tablecloths. Use shower curtains from the dollar store. They come in all colors, and are large enough to put on any table.

Craft: Red Hat Lamp
I went to my local favorite thrift store shopping and picked up this lamp. The shade was already shaped like a hat. I painted the shade red and trimmed it with some red and purple feather boas.

If you only have a bit of paint, and don't know the color code or don't have much money, these are some pretty ways to save a little time and still have a nice item.

Frame Greeting Cards as a Holiday Decoration
I love to save greeting cards people have sent me over the years. One day, while going through my box of cards, I thought how pretty they were and it was a shame they were packed away in a box.

Craft: Basket Lampshades
I want to share a photo of one of my projects from several years ago. I found a great wicker basket with a fluted edge and it had a handle on it. I kept looking at this basket and flipped it over and decided to cut off the handles and make it into a lampshade for a lamp I had.

Craft: Revamped Chandelier
I wanted a crystal chandelier for my dining room. I searched for something affordable. Not! So I decided to make my own. I found an old rusty candle light fixture at a junk shop. Cleaned it up,and painted it with "gold" rust stopping paint.
