I love cheese cloth.

I added cheese cloth, vintage jewelry, and glitter to a white  ornament.

Shoe clips are  are inexpensive to find and are great for  repurposing.

I made these ornaments from coffee stained cheese cloth, a piece of jewelry, and glitter. I love the look of the lamp shades, so I thought why not.

I was so happy to have ornaments the color of the lamps.
