Have a lampshade that needs a little pizzazz? You will love this...

I needed a new lamp for my daughter's bedside table, so I took this fabulous shade from Wayfair and embellished the outside with pom poms and the lined the interior with scrapbook paper. Super easy and makes a dramatic impact!

  • Tuna Can Lantern at InMyOwnStyle.com 7

Deck and Outdoor Living Tuna Can Lantern

Inexpensive and easy way to make DIY outdoor lighting by re-purposing a tuna can. A dowel, paint or old broom stick, wood screw, copper fitting, and a thrift store glass hurricane is all that is needed. Simply drill a hole in the can and dowel to attach the dowel/paintstick and spray paint it. Once the paint is dry add the glass hurricane. Cost- $5.00
