Shaw's Original Fir...
Love the cheap DIY! Although the dust-collecting capacity of those pendants is enough to make me sneeze.
Absolutely LOVE the first one! The pendant redo is brilliant! I'm thinking maybe organza would be a good material as well. It floats in the air. And the rough edge would add volume. Also, permanent double face tape as a way to attach it might work, too.
Nice round-up! Love me some DIY projects, and budget is always good!
