Refurbished Lampshade

Supplies:

Old Lampshade

Old T-Shirt

Scraps of ribbon

Glue

scissors

First cut the hem off the bottom of the T-shirt and throw it away. Now cut 1 inch strips from the bottom of the T-shirt. Once several strips are cut, pull the strips to make the fabric roll a little. Tie ends together to make one long string. Now, wrap the long string around the lampshade horizontally. As I wrapped I hid the knots in the back. Once you have finished wrapping horizontally you can start to weave different colored ribbon into the T-shirt strings. Glue each ribbon down when you change colors.

Jewelry - Vintage Pendant

This pendant was made with my Grandmother's jewelry. It was an earring that I made into a pendant.

Magnet

Laminated Photo Magnet I like to use my laminator and I like photos. I have wanted to find creative ways to display favorite photos rather than displaying them in small frames. Here is my laminated photo magnet. Supplies: favorite photo card stock ribbon hole puncher *laminator laminate sheets circle magnet tacky glue Cut photo to desired size. Cut card stock 1/4 inch larger than photo. Center photo onto card stock and glue. Then laminate it. Trim photo around the edge of card stock. Punch holes around the edge of card stock. Cut ribbon twice as long as diameter of laminated photo. Start at the top center of the laminated photo and weave ribbon in and out of holes. Tie a knot at the end and trim. Put a dab of tacky glue on the back of the magnet and then stick to back of laminated photo. Let is dry completely before using.
