FUN STUFF | ROCK YOUR WEEKEND | REDO YOUR ROOM

Redo your room: Craft a cool lampshade!

 
In our June/July issue we showed you some awesome quick fixes to take your room from drab to fab. Sick of your boring bedside lamp? Brighten things up with a pretty floral glow.

 

What you’ll need:

A roll of pretty wrapping paper (we chose floral)

A lampshade

An LED lightbulb

Scotch tape

Scissors and a Sharpie

 

What you’ll do:

With the lampshade upside down on a flat surface, unroll some of the wrapping paper and line the inside of the shade, gently tracing the outline of the rim onto the paper using the Sharpie. When you’ve finished, cut the wrapping paper along the traced line. Then, secure the paper to the inside of the shade using small pieces of Scotch tape with the patterned side facing out (so the inside is blank). Feeling creative? Decorate the rim of your newly improved shad with pompom trim or stick-on gems. Reattach the shade to your lamp base, and gently screw in the LED light bulb. Flip the switch, and voila!

 

Tip: Using an LED light bulb reduces heat, plus it’s eco-friendly!

I want to re-do my room into a teen room! But my room is almost as small as a box! What can I do?




Hey girlie,

Totally NBD! You can still do a lot with your space. Get permission to paint all the walls (or paint just one wall in a bright color, as an "accent" wall). Refresh the room with a patterned rug or new bedspread. Put a new mirror on the wall, or organize a cluster of antique-store picture frames. Even just taping up some photos of you, your fam, and your friends will totally mix things up!

I did this with that colored duct tape they sell at Target. It looks awesome and it only took $3 and 20 minutes.

im switching rooms with my brother and want to redo everything. im looking for a cute comforter, do you have any ideas? any color except pink works! thanks




Hey girl!

     Solid or printed quilts are really cute, or try a white comforter with a bright quilt or blanket on top. Hope that helps! x0x0

Ok so this summer I'm moving (closer in the town i live by/go to school) and I'm really excited.....except for packing. The last time I moved I was 6 or 7 so I've never had to pack for myself. You have any tips on easy ways to pack?? And I'm also gonna have to decorate my new room of course! My current room is pink, blue, green, yellow, and purple and I love those colors but I dont think I want as much in my new room so do you have any tips on colors?

 

Hey girlie! Packing is definitely a long process that isn't exactly easy. Start with the smaller things like picture frames, lamps, etc, and then clothes, and then the bigger things like furniture. For a fun decorating idea try something like this fun, easy lampshade: http://www.girlslife.com/post/2011/05/13/Redo-your-room-Craft-a-cool-lampshade.aspx. Good luck!

hey! i got my cold on saturday, and well you know how colds have their worst day? mine was DEFINETLY yesterday. so my mom said that today i'll probably feel how i did on sunday, and tomorrow i'll feel how i did on saturday, and then on thursday i will probably feel fine. is that true? also my head hurts so should i just take an advil and go to school? (it doesnt hurt that bad)




Hey chica! the best way to get over a cold is to REST REST REST! Make sure to drink lots of water to stay hydrated and stay away from doing too much activity. This is big allergy and cold season so don't feel like you're the only one battling the spring season!
