Just a few simple projects

I've had several questions about how I hung, my recent maps find. I must say that I got this idea from my friend Tamara over at Shabby Vintage Junk.

I had a rack already hung from a different display in the past. Actually the rack is from an old tool that I was fortunate to pick up. It was originally for picking up glass sheets but I modified it as a rack. Then I used old wooden pant hangers, pinched the maps in the pant hangers and hung it up on the rack. I did have to bend the hanger hook so that it would hook on the rack but that is it. It was really easy. Thanks Tamara for the great idea.

Remember those wonderful vintage scarves I found. Well until I come up with something I decided to drape it around an existing lamp shade. Folded it in 1/2 diagonally andwrapped it around the small lamp shade and just used a pin to hold it in place. I've not damaged the scarf or the lamp shade.

Note never, lay a scarf over a lamp shade, it can and will catch fire.
Always leave the opening at the top for the heat to escape.

And now for the other side of the room :)
Creativity ain't pretty!!!!!!
Have a great week.
