Quick and easy on the wallet. Nice one Orange You Lucky!

Here’s my little do it yourself project. I got this very inexpensive IKEA paper lampshade and I painted fun flowers all over it with gouache paint! Fun, fast, cheap and nobody has one. I might get kids to do one next time. Even if it doesn’t work out – I’m out a cleaning job and a few dollars. No big deal for this much fun!

Great idea!

the lampshades look fantastic! Thankyou for inspiring me to get creative again after a few barren years! As you say the shades are so cheap to buy that it wont matter if you make a mistake.
Could even be a nice little earner for a charity stall one day.
Thanks again & hope to find a few more ideas
Heather
