A clever idea!

Well it has been a cruisey Saturday morning so far and it has given me a chance to catch up on some blogs and time to discover new ones.
I also have a few new faces following honey and fizz , which is very exciting so I will definitely be trying to get to you and say hello :)

I just saw this post over at Full House and thought it was so clever that I had to repost it! A d.i.y fluffy light shade.

It was made by Nicole at Parlour. Made with a paper lantern, hot glue and 1200 coffee filters!
I just started following her so I am looking forward to catching up on her blog. (I need to learn how to link things, will work on that!)




How clever is that?

  10. That is one crafter with the gift of patience. I wonder how long this took? Beautiful though, and unique, like a piece of art work. Fabulous example of being thrifty and design on a dime. :)

  11. Hi there...thanks so much for featuring my project, and all the kind words. Yeah, it took 1200 coffee filters and probably around 10 hours of gluing for this to be finished. I actually ordered it online (IKEA did not have one big enough for what I wanted.)But, the smaller ones from IKEA would work the same way. Hope this helps...if anyone else tries it let me know how it turns out! ( =
