Lamp Shade DIY: Fabric Strips

Want to add a pop of color to your room?  Try this easy 4 step no-sew lamp shade craft.

What you’ll need:

• Plain lamp shade
• Scissors

 

Step 1:  Glue half way down your fabric strip and secure to bottom rim of lamp shade.

Step 2: Take fabric strip next layer up and overlap above rim to desired view length.  Glue the piece all the way around lamp and tie to ends together.

Step 3: Continue up the entire lamp until you reach the top.

Step 4: Cut and trip extract fabric to desired length.

Step 5: Attach to lamp and you’re done!

Try the other direction this time!
