How To Make A Custom Fabric Lampshade
Hi Jane,
What sort of Lampshades. Have a look under Projects at top of HomePAGE!
If you go to a thrift store, you can most likely pick up some cheap lamp shades. Take off the fabric and replace with whatever goes with your decor.
Hello. That might depend on your prefered aesthetic. Fabric recovering could be an option and I have spray painted Thrift store shades.
It depends on what type of fixture you’re looking to shade, whether it’s a pendant, a sconce, a lamp, or other type of fixture. I bet if you tried the search bar at the top left, you’ll get lots of ideas back.
I agree that your time is worth more than making the entire thing from scratch.
Re-upholster an existing frame.
You can find them at the thrift store
