This DIY begins with a little backstory. I purchased the Shifting Buttons skirt on a recent visit to Anthropologie and it instantly became my favorite piece of clothing. A few weeks ago I decided to throw it in the regular wash so I could pack it for a weekend trip.
I had no time for the dry cleaners. I had an unfortunate stroke of luck and something went terribly wrong in the wash. Somehow several small holes were made in the fabric.....who knows how that happened!? :(
So I did what any fashion hound would do....went on-line and purchased a brand new skirt! I couldn't let the old one go to waste so I thought of a very clever way to reuse that fabulous fabric...
I covered a lamp shade to make a very cute and quite chic desk lamp. Now I can have my favorite skirt in my wardrobe and in my home!!
The lamp shade was purchased at Michael's and it comes already sticky with adhesive. Runs about $16. Try this with your favorite fabric for a fabulous and green accessory!
