Before making a shade, I'd recommend replacing the cardboard piece below the bulb, as it looks as though it's been subjected to excessive heat. Was the bulb shown the original, or did you increase bulb size and wattage?
You may want to reduce wattage, or switch to a LED, which emits far less heat.
Unless you can weld or know someone who can it is easier to go to a thrift store and buy an old one and recover it with the fabric you like. Or you can buy the lamp kits now.
