We know that fringes and tassels are usually limited to cowboy gear, but it's also an easy way to make your own unique lighting. Use wool, yarn, hemp or rope to add some down-to-earth glamour to your home with just a bit of country chic. All you really need to make your own stylish boho light shade is some wood or steel rings - or revamp an old shade - and your choice of material to craft a tassel or fringe lamp shade. Choose colour for your chandelier that complement other design elements in your home.

Tie your tassel or fringe chandelier into the spirit of boho style by using brilliant coloured fabrics and accessories. That's one element of boho that I truly love... the bold jewel colours that are a part of this design trend. Buy some colourful fabric and decorative trim to cover up old lampshades to add a splash of colour to your bedroom.

If you prefer your colour a little more muted, you can still dress up a plain lamp shade with a tassel trim that gives your lighting a brand new look. Visit your local fabric stores to view a selection of colourful tassel trim styles that you can attach to the existing shade with a hot glue gun or fabric glue.

Zip Tie Lamp Shade!
This zip tie lamp will make you think again for the number of uses for zip ties! The zip ties were sprayed using Rust-Oleum 2X Painters Touch spray paint and then added to a wire grid that forms the basis for the lamp shade.
