got an old lampshade kicking around? not sure what to do with the thing? well before you donate it take a look at this tutorial for a simple lamp shade from cicada daydream .

cicada daydream is the blog for cicada studio Michelle Engel Bencsk's home to a collection of fabrics that are to die for. you can find them here and also at their etsy store here. the hydrangea blue - mod squad (shown below) is my personal fave.

so find that old lampshade, get some fabric you love and get sewing.
