Mod Podge is a sealer. I have used it to attach fabric to lampshades in the past and have never had any issues with the sealer releasing. Hope this helps.
Could you make a base for the shade using a material that is typically used for lampshades and then mod podge your design over it? Here is a paragraph on this and what you can use as a liner for the shade:
"Inspect other lampshades in your home or at a store, and you'll notice that the inside looks different from the outer lampshade covering. This inner lining helps provide a solid yet flexible structure for the lampshade fabric while also protecting it from heat emitted by the bulb. Pressure-sensitive styrene, also known as adhesive styrene, is the material used for the inside of many lampshades. This type of styrene is available at many craft stores or through lampshade supply retailers."
Yes that is my problem, most shades are done with a protective material inside the shade. I have made many types of shades and have used that lining because of the heat from the bulb. This project isn't the same. I need it to be clear and I can only find white.
Thanks for your suggestion.
Haha, found my first reply.
Use the "hippie" light bulbs - they put off light but no heat.
I do a lot of decoupage and use Elmers glue. Including on lamp shades. There is no problem with the glue and the heat from the bulbs.
Where did you get the window pane for your project? I like the idea.
Oh Dear Jennifer! I don't have a question. I just wanted to tell you how much I love your projects!! I think I saved nearly every one! I'm excited about attempting some!! I'm grateful that you share your talent!
