Change your Home Decor Quickly and Inexpensively (with your scrapbooking supplies!)

Use peel-and-stick flowers to jazz up the bottom of a white drum shade. Who knew stickers could look so cool?!

                     

Attach flowers to the surface of a plain paper lampshade with color-coordinated brads. Poke the brads through the flower center, then through the paper shade, securing them on the inside.

Adorn a lampshade with custom-made paper cutouts. Spray-paint the shade your desired color and set aside to dry. Cut a motif from fabric, and enlarge it on a copier. Make several copies on two colors of paper. Cut each into several pieces. Reassemble, mixing and matching colors for a two-tone design and eliminating some sections so the lampshade will be exposed. Or take your favorite scrapbook paper and use that. Tape the designs to the shade to determine the spacing. Let motifs run off some of the shade's edges. Adhere the motifs using spray adhesive. Trim the top and bottom rims with ribbon for a smooth finish.


A great use for your ribbon collection! Dress a lampshade in colorful ribbons and a pretty scalloped border salvaged from a vintage handkerchief. Just glue the pieces to the shade rim, overlapping the edges and cut ends.


Transform any lampshade, photo frame, or mirror in seconds with stick-on dimensional flowers. Edge a shade with garden blossoms in summery colors. (You can pull them off if your room scheme changes.)


Get the look of broken tile without the mess and fuss of traditional mosaic. Cut irregular squares and rectangles from patterned paper, fit the pieces together on the base, and

adhere them with decoupage medium.

 Apply dimensional stickers. Position a trio of flower stickers on the base and create stems with adhesive gems. Coat the base in a clear adhesive to keep the stickers in place.







After adhering patterned paper to a lampshade, add grosgrain ribbon to the top and bottom edges. Keep the ribbon in place with small stitches or clear double-sided tape.
