Do you remember when I went through a lampshade kick this summer? The original how to post can be found here... http://jennicanknit.blogspot.com/2012/07/more-lampshades.html
They are surprisingly easy to make!
I just finished this big drum shade for my daughter, Olivia's room. I haven't been able to take a picture of it hung up yet because her room is always a mess. Sad but true.
Use the method I described in my earlier post... all you need is some spray adhesive, clothespins and chalk.
This fabric came from IKEA. I think it is possibly my favorite fabric ever. I got the cute little see through lamps on clearance at Target for $5. Rectangular shades are definitely the easiest to cover. (No pesky curves).
