Today’s feature is from Kirin Notebook with instructions for How to cover a lampshade frame

Equipment

  • Lampshade frame (these can be tricky to find - I buy mine from Handworks in Prahran, VIC)
  • Fabric (anything that can hold it’s own when the light is on - you want to be able to still see the pattern!)
  • Some sort of base stock to support the fabric - this can be card or flexible polypropylene.
  • Spray Adhesive (this will be your best friend throughout the process - don’t even bother trying without it)

This is a great tutorial with lots of pictures and detailed instructions to be found. One of the comments suggests looking for lampshades at thrift stores to use, great idea!

Here’s another How To from the same site that I thought was a great tutorial as well: How To Make A Reversible Journal Cover.
