I have yet to make a lampshade out of coffee filters but it is on my long to-do list!
If you really need detailed directions, then Ashely at Little Miss Momma has got you covered.
A couple years ago I did a post on my other blog on 13 uses for coffee filters. I thought it would be fun to share them with you here and add another use--lampshade--to the top of the list.
- Make a lampshade.
- Cover food when cooking in the microwave to prevent splatters.
