Okay farmgirls, how 'bout a little fun.
These are for a project I'm working on and I've decided to make a guessing game out of this.
This is not the finished project, but I will give a little gift to the farmgirl who guesses WHAT the finished project will be . . or comes closest to it.
So, just give your best guess TODAY, THURSDAY . . . and in the morning (Friday) I'll see who comes the closest, post a pic of the finished project and send off a little gift. Just post here.
You ready? Set!! GO!!!
Thanks for playing!!

Ah ! CJ I was thinking about that. I seen that on DIY project but they used clear cups & covered them. I think they used LED lights. I like your way better with the lampshades ;)

As a shade on a wineglass.
TIP: You'll have to cut the entire circle of the bottom out of the cup OR your tealight won't stay lit AND you'll melt the cup bottom. But you could use the LED tealights.

Yup . . . all kinds of possibilities. I'm thinking about another set in just polka dot prints AND another one is just Western prints.
Fun project!

CJ those are adorable! You could also use them to "foofify" a little girls bedroom window shade. How cute! Gosh! There are so many uses for them. If you want to give some away for a male friend or a cowgirl or boy you could do them all up in bandana fabric. John Deere fabric for your farmer friend. I think you can find team fabric for any sport lover! I think the possibilities might be endless!

YAY! Thanks so much. I had recently seen this idea and was going to try it with fancy napkins or tissue paper and outline with sharpie to look like stained glass. If they're easy to put on and take off, you could make several different themes and just change out the shades.
Thanks again.

They could also be used as little shades on wineglasses (with the right mouth width) with a tea light in them.
They'd make great little party drinking cups but you should do that before cutting the "X" in the bottom for the light.
Thanks again girls!

Here's my string . . 20 light strand of mini-lights. I made two extra shades to have in case any get torn or whatever.
Plastic solo cups, fabric, Mod Podge, mini lights . . it was fun!!!

Okay farmgirls, here we go:
They ARE lampshades!!!!
So, Marly, Beverly and Marlene were REALLY close!!!!
Madeline was even closer with her string of Christmas lights idea
And, Laurie, you are right in that they are "Glamping" accessories. I plan to use them across the front of our canopy at our campsite.
"KathyC" nailed it! They are shades for a string of mini lights!!!
YAY!! Kathy . . would I be right in thinking that perhaps you've either seen or made some?
Email me your mailing address so I can send your little gift!!!
THANKS FOR PLAYING!!!!

I think they are Little Farmgirl Wine Glasses that you decided to make pretty for any occasion, it is always nice to drink wine out of something pretty don't you think:-)

My post does say "party hats" but there are question marks at the end of that. So, that was a "teaser" title.
Very shortly we'll know for sure and I do have pics of the finished project.
Thanks for "playing" . . it's always fun when farmgirls jump in, just for the fun of it!

Your post said party hats, and I'm all over it, because when i was 4 my mom did the same thing and attached a paper dolie to the bottom for cure ruffle effects.
Can't remember what was used to keep them attached to the tops of our heads.
And since my birthday is in February, the little cups were covered in pink iand red construction paper.
Is this right??? |

Yup, "Calicogirl" knows what they are. She was at my house today and I told her I'd tell/show her but then she couldn't come here and guess.
We'll see what the morning brings!
More guesses are welcome!!

Hi CJ :) I have a couple of ideas rolling around. Mini night light lamp shades, like Marlee posted & I have done or Party lanterns, hung from Old fashioned Christmas light strings.
