DIY Fabric Garland

One of my favorite decorations for holidays (or anytime!) is a mixed fabric banner.

What you need-
Scissors
7 feet of twine rope
Measure tape
5 different patterned fabrics
NOTE: For a mini garland have the ladies at joAnns cut them at 10"
For a big long garland have them cut a half yard (18")

Instructions:
FOR MINI: Cut the fabric into 2 1/2" strips
FOR BIG: Cut the fabric into 2 1/2" - 3" strips
Take the twine and knot the fabric pieces along it until your all the way at the end.
If you have some space you can fill in with other plain color fabric. It really depends on how squished or spread out you want the fabric on the garland to be.

DIY Thrift Store Lamp to Jewelry Stand

This Turned Out Cuter Than I Could Have Ever Imagined! 

I needed a necklace stand for my Devoted Heart 28" Necklaces and everything I could find would be $50 or more! So I did some pinterest research and found this post/link. It looked simple enough to do, the tough part was finding a cute lamp stand with some character. I decided to go to my local goodwill (which seems to always have what I need!) and I found this gold beauty for $9.99.  What attracted me to it, was the leaves and flower like features.

I took the top light part out and the cord attached to it. 

I then painted it with some leftover ivory cream paint I used on another piece of furniture in my house. 

                         

Now I needed a pole to hold the necklaces from. I was going to buy an 18" wood pole from Home Depot or Lowes but we had an extra pipe in the garage and so I just had my hubs cut it to the length for me. 

I then glued buttons from Joann's on the ends to "close" it. 

After that I took some thick twine I had and glued it around the pole

I then glued the pole to the lamp and it was finished!!! I really love how it turned out! 

I love the character it gives the necklaces too! Such a neat find! 

Enjoy!
