So easy, even your 3 year old can do it.

And they could probably do it better too.

I am talking about a fast cheap splatter paint lampshade update Jackson Pollock style.

I know I have been MIA in the DIY department all summer, so I am starting off gently.

First you will need this:

old shade, a little RIT dye any color, old toothbrush or stiff brush and gloves 

(last one is very important, messy!)

Find a spot outside you can get dye on and not get yourself into trouble:

Dip your brush into the dye:

And splash, flick and swing- just get angry at that shade!

You can drink whiskey too if you want to channel your inner Pollock, 

but it is only 8 am here so I will stick to my coffee.

I also used my finger and flicked it through the toothbrush to get a finer spatter look.

I wound up using both techniques to get this:

If you want it super fancy, line the inside of the shade with gold foil paper afterwards.

All lit up:

And unlit:

Easy. Total cost $4.99 for the bottle of dye.

Wait til you see tomorrow's DIY. 

( I had a lot of dye left over.)
