I *heart* Ikea Hacker!
Written by stephanie on August 16th, 2008One of my favorite blogs is ikeahacker. It’s both entertaining and inspiring. Sure, a few of the hacks are “whack,” but that’s half the fun!
Not being handy myself (Julio is power tool god in this house – I tend to avoid motorized tools at all costs. I’m actually quite accident prone – to the point that even electric can openers freak me out. “That’s right doctor. I severed my finger trying to open a can of soup.” But I digress.) Where was I? Oh yeah. Not being handy myself, I especially enjoy “hackeasâ€: simple IKEA hacks you can do in 30 minutes or less. They are right up my alley!
In a previous post, we discussed our own hackea involving IKEA’s Deka curtain rod. Today I plan to wow you with my startling transformation of the Skimra lampshade. OK – maybe not so startling, but pretty cute, I think!

Hi Miranda. Thank you! My girls like them too.
I found the ribbon and the beads (which are actually connected to a ribbon and sold by the yard) at Fabric Depot: https://www.fabricdepot.com/
