Coffee Filter Garland


I found this craft the other day, It cost $1 and took less than 30 min. I took about 4 feet of yarn, and threaded 6 coffee filters, every 6 inches. Scrunch the coffee filters before threading them. It looks so cute for a birthday party, strung over a mirror, window, or a photo. It's so cheap and easy. You can also tea stain them or dye them a different color.

My handy, dandy lamps...........




These lamps I have had for a while now.......... Boring, bland white, with gold base. So..... a few months ago I spice them up. I moj poj (?) the lamp shade with some news paper and wrapped ribbon and feathers around them and then painted the bases a blue, green color. It cost me less than $10 for supplies and now I have original lamps. I love them, they are very unique. Plus when I'm sick of them I can rip them apart and totally revamp them! :)
