DIY lampshade decoupage

Again, I've been in a crafting mood so the next victim of this fit was the lampshade. Poor thing. He was naked so I used my skills so give clothe him and therefore, show him kindness. AND now others shades cannot poke fun at him. I've done society a service. Here's the scene of action:

Step 1. Find a plain lamp shade.

Step 2. Take mod podge and a paint brush, and plaster it all over the shade.
Then strategically place sheet music over the shade. I chose to angle them
so that it didn't seem perfect. I like the jaunty angles that say "I'm laid back but
still care about my appearance."

Step 3. This is the finished product!

I like crafting! Especially when it spruces up the apartment. My roommates and I have deemed the place the "Etsy Apartment" because it's so eclectic and creatively decorated. It's very homey. I'll make a post about it in the near future.

Crafting

I love, love to reuse, remake, and recreate pieces. Be it jewelry, clothing, or accessories--it's all splendid! During the delightfully unexpected snow break, I made my new favorite thing to wear....a button cuff bracelet!! Here's the scoop on the creation:

This is the cuff from a jean jacket I have. I wanted it to be 3/4 length sleeves so I cut this off and saved it for  a special project.

Next, pin or lay out the buttons where you want them. If your heart is set on keeping the buttons where you first pinned them, take a picture of it before you start sewing. Then you can reference it in the midst of sewing.

And here is the finished product:

Tada! I'll show better pictures of it later, but this works for now.

 I sewed two large snaps on the back to hold it together by the way. I've worn it three times and had many compliments on it. I'm stoked about the turn out.
