Make a Lampshade Out of a Starbucks Cup!

If necessity is the mother of invention, then that's how I came up with this idea!
I was finishing up the end of the decor on my kitchen office and one of the last things I needed was a lampshade. I love the cylindrical lampshades that are popular now and figured I could find something around the house to spray paint gold and attach!
*Please make sure to use an LED lightbulb to prevent a possible fire hazard!

Well, I never found anything cylindrical (didn't have any soup cans), but I looked at my Starbuck's cup and thought that it just might work!
I don't seem to have a before pic, but I bet you can imagine what an un-painted Starbuck's cup looks like. I sprayed it with Gold Medal Spray Paint (you can find it at Michael's) and cut a hole in the top using some scissors.
Then I simply shoved it on the lamp where a shade needed to go! Easy.....and free!
That was it! A DIY anyone can do! You can read more about this and find all the tutorials to my Kitchen Office Wall on the blog in the link below!
