One of the best lampshade refab how-tos ever

Need a spring spruce up but no budget whatsoever? I found this how to and thought it might make a nice weekend project. I'd love to see before and after pics if anyone decides to give this a go!

A great spring project that's super easy and pretty!

For this great idea (and gorgeous photos), I thank Elizabeth Goodman, creator of the very pretty "To Be Charmed" blog.

The project's star component is Japanese Washi tape, which is like a decorative masking tape. The tape is a fabric-like masking tape that comes in dozens of patterns, colors, and widths.





Some of these vases she's created are actually paper cups!
Read her post for all the how-to details -

Some places to purchase the tape:

Some pretty spring flowers on my desk would really brighten my day! (hint to boyfriend)

I know ...Spring? Who am I kidding? It's snowing outside right now as I'm typing. Maybe one day Spring will come, and when it does, you should try this really cute idea. It's from Southern Living Feb. 2010, which revamped their look a few months ago, and I'm really liking all the issues so far!

These two photos are so pretty. If you have woods or trees on your property you could even create your own bouquets.

This is a good idea- use strands of grapevine to support the stems. I like the look
