{DIY Paint Chip Lampshade}

Remember when I posted about getting a lamp and shade at the thrift store for 2.97 each?

I FINISHED THE PROJECT! Yes. 

Here's the process if you want to do it too!


1. Tools you need:
 A circle cutter
A lot of people have fancy one for scrapbooking
Obviously mine is a CAR. It's from Walmart and for kids. $4.00
Most people have these but if you don't the hot glue gun is about $2-3 at Hobby Lobby
 

2. You need to get [steal? nah] paint chips. I got mine from Walmart.

3. Cut out your circles

4. Glue your circles in a row

5. Glue your rows on the lampshade




6. FINISHED!!!

You can see through the paper when the light is on but I think it gives it a cool effect.
