It wouldn't be right if we were to complete Alpro's #InspireMyDay challenge without providing you lovely lot with some craftspiration. So, here it is! Since coming home from University I have managed to unpack two houses worth of belongings into one room. But to do that I've had to have a huge rearrange of furniture and a massive clear out. Whilst I have been organising my room I have also been sprucing it up a little. And one of my interior amendments has been recovering old lampshades to make a beautiful, up-cycled addition to my bedroom. Above are some of my favourite ideas that I have found on Pinterest. I particularly like the one on the top right! For more inspiration make sure to check out our 'Inspiration' board.
This is what I created! I covered an old lampshade with left over curtain material that I had saved. I cut the material to the width of the lampshade and added about 5cm extra on either side. I then folded the material over the lampshade and stuck in place with super glue. Note, you might find it a little easier to do this if you take the light bulb out first. I then left it to dry and then stuck a pompom garland around the bottom. I think it's simple but very effective! I was rather chuffed with it actually :)
What do you think? Have any of you tried any interior DIY?
Lots of love,
