Made Over Lamp Shades and a Freebie from my Western Theme...

Happy Terrific Tuesday everyone! I was trying to link up yesterday to get in on Monday Made It this week, but my camera did not want to cooperate-it died as I was uploading the pictures and of course I didn't have anymore batteries-my before picture was lost in the madness!!  Oh well, maybe next time.  Well anyway I will share what I made today.  I have had these lamps forever but I needed new lamp shades for them.  I was able to find the lamp shades for $1.99 each-I love clearance items and so does my pocketbook.

I jazzed them up a little by adding my bandana print fabric...

I think I will add red or blue binding at the top and bottom of the shade to make it POP!

I actually found denim binding. Here are the updated lamps...

I can't wait to go to my classroom on Thursday and continue working in my room. I will  start posting pics of completed areas.

I saw this cute idea on Pinterest:

    

I created my own wanted sign and will place it in the bag along with a (western back to school packet) with the twine wrapped around it and the badge. This will be on their desk on the first day of school.  They will write about why school is important and this will become part of the hallway display. Click on the picture if you would like a copy...

Here is another adorable idea...

My creation:

Now I must go and watch The Godfather II on AMC!! Yes! I am into Mob movies.  The Godfather Trilogy are my all time favorite movies. See Ya!!
