Things You'll Need:
- Lampshade
- Spray adhesive
- Fabric glue
- Accessories
-
Step 1
Remove the lampshade from the lamp, if not a newly purchased one. Clean it if necessary.
-
Step 2
Change the entire look of the lampshade by applying fabric that matches the room's decor. Some new lampshades come with a template that can be removed from the shade and traced onto the fabric. If not, using a large piece of paper, roll your lampshade along 360 degrees to create a pattern.
-
Step 3
Cut the pattern from fabric and mount to the lampshade using spray adhesive.
-
Step 4
Apply fabric glue to the bottom edge of the lampshade and add a decorative trim. This can be anything from rickrack to ribbon to beaded trim.
-
Step 5
Use another technique such as using a hole-punch to make holes in the lampshade from which light can seep. These holes can also be filled with stem-less artificial flowers or woven with ribbon.
-
Step 6
Decorate the lampshade with personal touches, such as seashells from a beach trip or buttons from an old favorite shirt.
-
Step 7
Place the lampshade back on the lamp.
