Simplest Shade Upgrade Ever!

You see this adorable lamp under Chevron Stripes! on our Ooh, Look at This! page.  What I wanted you to know is that I bought this cute shade for a song at $5.  I added the ball fringe to "cuten it up a notch" for my desk.  The fringe was left over from another project and I think it made all the difference!  I just got out my favorite crafting tool (the glue gun) and did tiny little dots of hot glue all around the edge (working with a one-inch section at a time) and carefully attached the fringe. The tip here:  When purchasing things for your home, think of ways you can embellish them.  That way they are truly one of a kind!  And, like me, you probably already have something at home that will make whatever you bought even better, like cute trims and tapes, even paint!  You can be sure if I had bought this shade with ball fringe already on it, I'd have paid a whole lot more.  Score!!
