How To Cover A Lampshade

I found this brilliant tutorial by Karyn on Fat Orange Cat the other day on how to cover a lampshade.

I have one lampshade in my living room that desperately needs this. I tried to paint it green a while back, but I didn’t get the paint even so when you turn the lamp on it just looks really bad.

Birthday Banner Tutorial

Another incredible idea from Kristin at See Mommy Sew. I don’t think I’ll be able to get this one finished in time for Hubby’s birthday at the end of the month, but I would love to make this someday. It is just soooo much cuter than the cheap ones at the store, and will hold up better over years and years of use too. :) You could even make one for every person in your family in customized colors, or with a third banner that had their name on it!
