Another beautiful DIY project from Elizabeth Anne Designs!!! This one is so clever, who would think to add lamp shades as a decor and centerpiece element to a outdoor wedding?? Seriously brilliant…as my design professor always said, “It is all about taking the ordinary and making it bizarre or strange by putting it into a new environment” case in point, taking something that is traditionally indoors and in a living room setting and bring it out side and adding it as a table top decoration, amazing!!! So simple yet so unique!
Fabric Covered Lampshade (no sewing machine required!)
Printable Instructions
Materials
- Drum Shaped Lampshade between 14” and 16” in diameter (drum shape important for ease of covering
- with fabric) This lamp shade meets the criteria and is very affordable! You can also find lamps at a local home store and remove the shades.
- Fabric
- No Sew Tape
- Spray adhesive
- Yard Stick
- Scissors
Instructions
- Measure the height and circumference of your lamp shade
- Add two inches to the height (one inch for both the top and bottom sides) and two inches to the diameter
- Using your yardstick, cut the fabric to calculated dimensions (for example, our lampshades were 44” in circumference and 10” tall, so we cut our fabric to 46” by 12”)
- Create ¾” seams on the top and bottom of the fabric (the “top and bottom” of the lamp shade) and a 1” seam at one end of the long side of the fabric with your “No Sew Tape” (Follow the directions of your “No Sew Tape” – instructions vary by brand)
- Test your fabric to be sure it fits your lamp shade – there should be a small overlap at the top and bottom of the shade
- Spray wrong side of fabric with spray adhesive
- Starting at the seam, apply fabric to the lampshade, carefully rolling it on a few inches at a time, smoothing the fabric until the whole shade is covered
- Stand back and admire your work!
